Box Plots

Question 4 • FL-1205010-M/J Grade 6 Mathematics B -GF

A data set has a maximum of 84, a minimum of 34, a median of 52.5, an upper quartile of 64, and a lower quartile of 44. Which statement is true of the box plot of this data set?

Answer
A
The box will go from 44 to 64.
B
A line dividing the box will be at 54.
C
The left whisker will go from 34 to 52.5.
D
The right whisker will go from 44 to 84.

Explanation

The box in a box plot extends from the lower quartile to the upper quartile. Here, those values are 44 and 64, so the box goes from 44 to 64. The line inside the box marks the median, 52.5, not 54.
