Okay I'm not sure which you need help with but.

First one, it means how did you feel about how the worksheets were set up

Then, about what you learned

How you felt about tests

And for the last one you could say thing like

How you felt about obstacles, the teachers/professors, pressure, how much you think you learned, how you feel at the end of the school year versus the beginning, or how you grew as a student/person. You can pick one or two or your own, those are just some ideas.

How is this your last day at school? You are quite lucky

Which box plot correctly displays the data set with a maximum of 48, a minimum of 27, a median of 36, an upper quartile of 45, a

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

Image 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this question, we need to know how to use a box plot.

I've attached an image that demonstrates this well and can teach you what each part of the box plot means.

Specifically, the 2 farthest dots at the end are the minimum and maximum. The two sides where the box starts are the lower and upper quartiles. Finally, the line in the middle of the box is the median.

With this, we can analyze each box plot and determine which one is correct.

Box Plot 1: Everything is plotted correctly- Maximum and minimum plotted correctly, median plotted correctly, upper and lower quartile plotted correctly.

Box Plot 2: Everything plotted correctly EXCEPT maximum of 48 is represented at 46.

Box Plot 3: Everything plotted correctly EXCEPT the upper quartile of 45 is at 39.

Box Plot 4: Upper quartile represented at 39 and maximum represented at 46 are both incorrect.
