Question

Which of the following is true of the data set represented by the box plot?

Answer 1

Answer:

Removing the outliers would not affect the median.

Step-by-step explanation:

The outliers represent those values that lie outside, that is, they are much smaller or much larger than the rest of the values.

So, in this case, outliers refer to the least and greatest value, if we remove them, the median would be the same, because they median is the center of all values, so, if we eliminate the least and the greatest at the same time, the center would remain the same.
