Question

blanca recorded her daily expenses for a week as follows: $32.50, $35.75, $33.75, $36.00, $34.50, $35.00, and $36.75. using the data provided, create a box plot to represent blancas daily expenses for the week.

Explanation:

Step1: Arrange data in ascending order

$32.50, 33.75, 34.50, 35.00, 35.75, 36.00, 36.75$

Step2: Find the median (Q2)

Since there are 7 data - points, the median is the 4th value. So, $Q2 = 35.00$.

Step3: Find the lower half of data

The lower half is $32.50, 33.75, 34.50$. The median of the lower half (Q1) is $33.75$.

Step4: Find the upper half of data

The upper half is $35.75, 36.00, 36.75$. The median of the upper half (Q3) is $36.00$.

Step5: Identify the minimum and maximum

The minimum value is $32.50$ and the maximum value is $36.75$.

The box - plot should have the minimum value at the end of the lower whisker ($32.50$), Q1 at the left - hand side of the box ($33.75$), Q2 as the line inside the box ($35.00$), Q3 at the right - hand side of the box ($36.00$), and the maximum value at the end of the upper whisker ($36.75$).

Looking at the options (not shown here but based on the above calculations), we can determine the correct box - plot.

Since the steps above are about creating a box - plot from a set of data, which involves statistical analysis of the data set.

Answer:

(The correct box - plot option based on the above calculations, which is not specified in the question text but can be identified by checking the minimum, Q1, Q2, Q3, and maximum values on each option)
