Question

The five-number summary for a data set is given by min = 5, Q1 = 18, median = 20, Q3 = 40, max = 75. If you wanted to construct a boxplot for the data set (that is, one that would show outliers, if any existed), what would be the maximum possible length of the right-side "whisker"? * 2 points 53 35 55 33 45

Answer 1

Answer:

33

Step-by-step explanation:

Values beyond the whiskers of the boxplot are called the outliers :

For a right side Outlier :

Values > Q3 ± 1.5(IQR) ;

IQR = Q3 - Q1)

From the data given:

IQR = (40 - 18) = 22

Hence ; the maximum value of right side whisker will be :

1.5(22) = 33
