Which set of data could be used for the box-and-whisker plot shown below?27, 35, 35, 32, 24, 34, 36, 27, 3827, 35, 35, 32, 26, 32, 36, 27, 3827, 35, 35, 32, 25, 34, 36, 27, 3827, 35, 35, 32, 26, 34, 36, 27, 38
Accepted Solution
A:
It would be the last set of data. You can tell this because when put in ascending order, 26 is the minimum and 38 is the maximum. Here, you find the median and then to find the first quartile and third quartile points, you find the median of the first half and the second half.
Q1= the half point between the minimum and the median
Q3= the half point between the median and the maximum.
By doing this, it should match up to the box and whisker plot
