To find the statistical measures for the given data set, let's first sort the data and then calculate the required values:

The sorted data is: 6, 6, 6, 10, 11, 11, 12, 12, 14, 15, 15, 16, 16

Statistical Measures

  1. Minimum (Min): The smallest value in the data set.

    • Min = 6
  2. First Quartile (Q1): The median of the first half of the data (the lower 50%).

    • First half: 6, 6, 6, 10, 11, 11
    • Q1 = (6 + 10) / 2 = 8
  3. Median (Med): The middle value when the data is ordered.

    • Total number of values: 13
    • Median = 12 (the 7th value in the ordered set)
  4. Third Quartile (Q3): The median of the second half of the data (the upper 50%).

    • Second half: 12, 14, 15, 15, 16, 16
    • Q3 = (15 + 15) / 2 = 15
  5. Maximum (Max): The largest value in the data set.

    • Max = 16

Summary of Statistical Measures

  • Min: 6
  • Q1: 8
  • Med: 12
  • Q3: 15
  • Max: 16

Box and Whisker Plot

To create the box and whisker plot, you can represent these values:

  1. Draw a rectangular box from Q1 to Q3 (from 8 to 15).
  2. Draw a line at the median (12) inside the box.
  3. Extend "whiskers" from the box to the Min (6) and Max (16) values.

This creates a visual representation of the data's spread and central tendency. If you have a graphical tool, you would drag the lines accordingly to reflect these calculations.
