Question

for her science project, liz recorded the high temperature each day for a month. daily high temperature (°f) what is the median of the daily high temperatures? °f

Explanation:

Step1: Recall median in box - plot

In a box - and - whisker plot (box plot), the median is represented by the line inside the box.

Step2: Identify the median from the plot

Looking at the given box - plot for the daily high temperatures, the line inside the box is at 58 (since the box is between 54 and 64, and the middle line of the box which represents the median is at 58). Also, since the data is for a month (30 days, an even number of data points? Wait, no, a month can have 30 or 31 days. But in a box - plot, the median is the middle value. For a box - plot, the median is the line that splits the box into two parts. From the number line, the box starts at 54, the median line is at 58, and the box ends at 64? Wait, no, looking at the number line: the ticks are at 50, 54, 58, 62, 66, 70. The box is from 54 to 64? Wait, no, the first part of the box is from 54 to 58, and the second part from 58 to 64? Wait, the median is the middle value. For a set of data, when we have a box - plot, the median is the vertical line inside the box. Looking at the plot, the line inside the box is at 58. Also, if we consider the number of data points: a month has 30 or 31 days. If it's 30 days (even), the median is the average of the 15th and 16th values. But from the box - plot, the median (the line in the box) is at 58.

Answer:

58
