Question

a data set has a median of 12, an upper quartile of 15, a lower quartile of 10, a minimum of 4, and a maximum of 20. which statement is true of the box plot of this data set?
○ the box will go from 10 to 12.
○ a line dividing the box will be at 12.
○ the left whisker will go from 4 to 15.
○ the right whisker will go from 12 to 20.

Explanation:

A box plot has its box spanning from the lower quartile (10) to upper quartile (15), with a median line inside the box at the median value (12). The left whisker runs from the minimum (4) to the lower quartile (10), and the right whisker runs from the upper quartile (15) to the maximum (20). Evaluating each option against these rules confirms the correct statement.

Answer:

A line dividing the box will be at 12.
