Question

The data set represents the total number of pencils each student in a class needs to sharpen.

Answer 1

Given:

The data set is:

0, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 6, 6, 9

To find:

The correct statement that represents the box plot of the data correctly.

Solution:

We have,

0, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 6, 6, 9

Divide the data in 2 equal parts.

(0, 1, 1, 1, 2), 3, (4, 4, 6, 6, 9)

Divide each parenthesis in 2 equal parts.

(0, 1), 1, (1, 2), 3, (4, 4), 6, (6, 9)

Here,

Minimum value = 0

First quartile = 1

Median = 3

Third quartile = 6

Maximum value = 9

A number line goes from 0 to 10. The whiskers range from 0 to 9, and the box ranges from 1 to 6. A line divides the box at 3.

Therefore, the correct option is D.
