Answer 1

Answer:

Check it below

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The Boxplot is a visual tool to easily find the quartiles of a Distribution. To construct a boxplot it's necessary to organize the data, find at least the upper (3rd Quartile) and lower quartile (1st Quartile), and register the maximum and the minimum value.

2) This graph confirms that the South American ones have much more water than the North American counterparts. Notice the Upper Quartile, (the top of the box) for the Southern ones, it's over 100,000 yrds³. And Compare to the Northern one.
