A parabolic function's key characteristic is either having 2 x-intercepts or 2 y-intercepts. That is the reason why the standard form of parabolic functions are:
(x-h)^2 = +/- 4a(y-k) or (y-k)^2 = +/- 4a(x-h), where
(h,k) is the coordinates of the vertex
4a is the lactus rectum
a is the distance from the focus to the vertex
This is also called vertex form because the vertex (h,k) is grouped according to their variable.
Since we don't know any of those parameters, we'll just have to graph the data points given as shown in the picture. From this data alone, we can see that the parabola has two x-intercepts, x=-4 and x=-2. Since it has 2 roots, the parabola is a quadratic equation. Its equation should be
y = (x+4)(x+2)
Expanding the right side
y = x²+4x+2x+8
y = x²+6x+8
Rearrange the equation such that all x terms are on one side of the equation
x²+6x+___=y-8+___
The blank is designated for the missing terms to complete the square. Through completing the squares method, you can express the left side of the equation into (x-h)² form. This is done by taking the middle term, dividing it by two, and squaring it. So, (6/2)²=9. Therefore, you put 9 to the 2 blanks. The equation is unchanged because you add 9 to both sides of the equation.
The final equation is
x²+6x+9=y-8+9
(x+3)²=y+1
(x-h)^2 = +/- 4a(y-k) or (y-k)^2 = +/- 4a(x-h), where
(h,k) is the coordinates of the vertex
4a is the lactus rectum
a is the distance from the focus to the vertex

Given:
Consider the below figure attached with this question.
The given data set is:
66, 65, 66, 70, 66, 68, 63, 60, 66, 68, 63, 65
To find:
The correct box plot for the given data set.
Solution:
We have,
66, 65, 66, 70, 66, 68, 63, 60, 66, 68, 63, 65
Arrange the data set in ascending order.
60, 63, 63, 65, 65, 66, 66, 66, 66, 68, 68, 70
Divide the data set in 4 equal parts by using the parenthesis.
(60, 63, 63), (65, 65, 66), (66, 66, 66), (68, 68, 70)
Minimum value = 60
First quartile:
Median:
Third quartile:
Maximum value = 70
It means the end points of the box plot are 60 and 70. The box lies between 64 and 67. Line inside the box at 66.
The box plot in option A is the only box plot that satisfy the above conditions.
Therefore, the correct option is A.
