Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
To find out the mistake of the student, let's find the min, max, median, Q1 and Q3, which make up the 5 important values that are represented in a box plot.
Given, {2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 14, 15},
Minimum value = 2
Median = middle data point = 6
Q1 = 3 (the middle value of the lower part of the data set before the median)
Q3 = 14 (middle value of the upper part of the data set after the median)
Maximum value = 15
If we examine the diagram the student created, you will observe that he plotted the median wrongly. The median, which is represented by the vertical line that divides the box, ought to be at 6 NOT 10.
See the attachment below for the correct box plot.
We know that the width of the garden is = feet = 6.75 feet
and Perimeter of the garden is = 37.5 feet
Also, we know that for a rectangular space perimeter = 2 * (l + w)
⇒ 37.5 = 2 * (l + 6.75)
⇒ 37.5 = 13.5 + 2*l
⇒ 24 = 2*l
⇒ l = 12 feet
Now, we need to determine how much square feet of mulch is required, hence we need to calculate the area of the garden
Area = l * w
⇒ Area = 12 * 6.75
⇒ Area = 81 square feet
Hence, they require 81 square feet of mulch
