A vertical line is drawn inside the rectangle at the point 28. The whiskers are labeled as 11 and 43. What information is provided by the box plot?

Answer 1

Box plots give the five number summary of the data set. The whiskers indicate the minimum daily travel time, which is 11 minutes, and the maximum daily travel time, which is 45 minutes. These values are not outliers because they are connected to the box with whiskers. Meanwhile, the box indicates that the first quartile of the data set is 16, the median is 28, and the third quartile is 36.
