Question 4 • Pre-Algebra B

A data set has a maximum of 200, a minimum of 115, a median of 145, an upper quartile of 150, and a lower quartile of 120. Which statement is true of the box plot of this data set?

Answer
A
The box will go from 145 to 150.
B
A line dividing the box will be at 135.
C
The left whisker will go from 115 to 145.
D
The right whisker will go from 150 to 200.

Explanation

The box extends from the lower quartile, 120, to the upper quartile, 150, and the median line is at 145. The right whisker runs from the upper quartile, 150, to the maximum, 200, so the true statement is “The right whisker will go from 150 to 200.”
