The first step in solving any word problem is to read the problem carefully.
Steps would be as follows: 1- Read the problem carefully 2- Identify what you are trying to find 3- Make a plan 4- Solve the problem 5- Check that your answer makes sense
A: You cannot get the mean from the graph but you CAN get the third quartile!
B: To find the interquartile range (IQR) we subtract the third and first quartiles:
60-35 = 25
C: An outlier would be much larger than the rest of the data or much smaller than the rest of the data. An outlier would make the "whisker" portion longer and could potentially slightly shift the box.
