Question

nam owns a used car lot. he checked the odometers of the cars and recorded how far they had driven. he then created both a histogram and a box plot to display the same data: histogram and box plot images 1. which display is more useful for approximating the minimum distance?

Explanation:

A box plot (box - and - whisker plot) shows the minimum value as the end of the left - most whisker. A histogram shows the frequency distribution of data but does not clearly mark the minimum value in the same way as a box plot. The box plot's whisker extends to the minimum data point, so it is more useful for approximating the minimum distance.

Answer:

The box plot is more useful for approximating the minimum distance.
