Parth created a Box-and-Whisker Plot to show the average weight of the fish he caught over the weekend. What information from th
e 1st Quartile does the graph give you? A. Three fourths of the fish he caught were larger than 22 pounds.
B. The average weight of the fish he caught was 40 pounds.
C. Three fourths of the fish he caught were less than 22 pounds.
D. The largest fish he caught was 63 pounds.
The 1st Quartile that the Box-and-Whisker Plot shows tells us that: <em>A. Three fourths of the fish he caught were larger than 22 pounds.</em>
Recall:
In a Box-and-Whisker Plot, about 25% of the data will be below the first quartile while 75% will be above the first quartile, that is Three fourths of the data will be above the first quartile and one-fourths will be below the first quartile.
Thus, the given Box-and-Whisker Plot as shown in the diagram below shows that the first quartile is 22 pounds.
Therefore, the 1st Quartile that the Box-and-Whisker Plot shows tells us that: <em>A. Three fourths of the fish he caught were larger than 22 pounds.</em>
