Answer:
0.218

Step-by-step explanation:
Probability is the likelihood or chance that an event will occur.
Probability = Expected outcome of event/ Total outcome
If a bag contains 3 red marbles, 7 blue marbles and 5 green marbles, the total number of marbles in the bag will be the total outcome i.e 3+7+5 = 15
If two blue marbles are drawn, the expected outcome in both cases is 7 since there are 7 blue marbles in the bag.
Probability of drawing the first blue marble = 7/15
Probability of drawing the second blue marble = 7/15
Probability that both marbles drawn will be blue = 7/15*7/15
= 49/225
= 0.218 (to nearest 1000th)

Here are the numbers that represent each based on the box plot:

Median: 11 (located at the vertical line in the middle of the box)
Range: 19 - 7 = 12 (highest value - lowest value)
25%:  9 (at the left end of the box)
75%: 14 (at the right end of the box)
Interquartile range: 14 - 9 = 5 (the distance from the beginning to the end of the middle half of the data)
