Answer:
The correct option is D
D) She may not be correct because means cannot be determined from the box plots
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is incomplete because the box plots are not attached in the question. I've attached the box plots of this question at the bottom.
The box plot, also know as box and whisker plot, displays only five type of values, which are:
- Minimum value
- First Quartile
- Median
- Third Quartile
- Maximum value
Mean cannot be determined by just lookin at the box plots. To find the mean, we need to know the values of data and total number of values.
As mean cannot be determined from the box plot, correct option is D

Answer:
1 tablet
Step-by-step explanation:
Data provided in the question:
The dose of the Uniphyl = 5 mg/kg
Strength of the Uniphyl = 400 mg per tablet
Weight of the patient = 76 kg
Now,
The recommended dose for the patient
= Dose of the Uniphyl × weight of the patient
= 5 mg/kg × 76 kg
= 380 mg
Therefore,
The number of tablets to be administered to the patient
=
=
= 0.95 ≈ 1 tablet
Hence,
The number of tablets to be administered to the patient is 1
