The box plot is not symmetrical for either data set.
<h3>What is Quartile?</h3>Quartiles divide the data values into four parts; the first quartile is the 25th percentile, the second quartile is the 50th percentile (also the median), and the third quartile is the 75th percentile.
Firstly, order the two data set from smallest to largest as shown in diagram below
The value of median, Q2 is the 5th value of both set
The value of Q1 and Q3 is the first and third quarter of the set
The range of data set one is 5-2=3 and of set two is 12-1=11
The interquartile range of set one is 5 - 2 = 3
The interquartile range of set two is 5 - 1.5 = 3.5
Thus, the box plot is not symmetrical for either data set.
