Question

1 the box plot represents the... passed through a busy intersection. a. what is the smallest value in the data set? interpret this value in the situation. speed of cars (miles per hour) 4 8 12 16 20 24 28 32 36 40 44 48

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the smallest value from the box plot

In a box plot, the leftmost whisker's end represents the minimum (smallest) value. Looking at the x - axis (speed of cars in miles per hour) and the box plot, the leftmost whisker ends at 8.

Step2: Interpret the value

The value 8 (miles per hour) represents the slowest speed among the cars that passed through the busy intersection. This means that at least one car was traveling at 8 miles per hour, which is the minimum speed observed in the data set of car speeds at this intersection.

Answer:

The smallest value in the data set is 8 miles per hour. This means the slowest - moving car (among those whose speeds were recorded) passing through the busy intersection was traveling at 8 miles per hour.
