Complete question :
The data below represents the number of customers at each Slurpee Sam's Spaghetti Shop. 24, 25, 29, 30, 31, 31, 32, 34, 34. Which box plot correctly summarizes the data?
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
BOX plots provide information about :
Minimum, Lower quartile, Median, Upper quartile and maximum value of a dataset.
Given the dataset :
24, 25, 29, 30, 31, 31, 32, 34, 34
Minimum value = 24 (Lowest value in the dataset)
First quartile (Q1) = 1/4(n+1)th term
Q1 = 1/4 * 10 = 10/4 = 2.5th term = (25+29)/2 = 27
Second quartile ; median (Q2) = 1/2(n+1)th term
Q2 = 1/2(n+1)th term = 1/2(10) = 5th = 31
Third quartile (Q3) = 3/4(n+1)th term
Q3 = 3/4(n+1)th term = 3/4(10) = 30/4 = 7.5th term = (7th +8th) term = (32 + 34) / 2 = 66/2 = 33
Maximum value = 34 (Highest value in the dataset)
First dot = minimum value
Last dot = maximum value
First line of box = QI
mid line = median
End line of box = Q3

Previous concepts
Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".
The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".
Solution to the problem
Let X the random variable that represent the grade points avergae of a population, and for this case we know the following properties
Where and
The empirical rule, also referred to as the three-sigma rule or 68-95-99.7 rule, is a statistical rule which states that for a normal distribution, almost all data falls within three standard deviations (denoted by σ) of the mean (denoted by µ). Broken down, the empirical rule shows that 68% falls within the first standard deviation (µ ± σ), 95% within the first two standard deviations (µ ± 2σ), and 99.7% within the first three standard deviations (µ ± 3σ).
So we can find the z score for the value of X=3.44 in order to see how many deviations above or belowe we are from the mean like this:
So the value of 3.44 is 2 deviations above from the mean, so then we know that the percentage between two deviations from the mean is 95% and on each tail we need to have (100-95)/2 = 2.5% , because the distribution is symmetrical, so based on this we can conclude that:
