Question

For the following data set, the box in a box-and-whisker plot is drawn between which two numbers? 23, 23, 6, 21, 6, 43, 50, 37, 21, 16, 42

Answer 1

Between 16 and 42

Explanation:

The box begins with Q1 or the 25th percentile. If you rank the data from low to high, determine Q1=16 . Q1 is the midpoint of the numbers below the median.

The box ends at Q3 or the 75th percentile. Q3= 42. Similarly, Q3 is the midpoint of the numbers above the median.
