Math Problem Statement
Solution
To identify the 5-number summary from the boxplot:
-
Minimum: The smallest data point represented by the leftmost point on the plot. From the boxplot, it appears to be 7.
-
First Quartile (Q1): The median of the lower half of the data, which is marked by the left edge of the box. From the plot, it's around 9.
-
Median (Q2): The middle value of the dataset, marked by the line inside the box. From the plot, the median is around 13.
-
Third Quartile (Q3): The median of the upper half of the data, marked by the right edge of the box. From the plot, it's about 15.
-
Maximum: The largest data point represented by the rightmost point on the plot. From the boxplot, it seems to be 19.
Thus, the 5-number summary is:
- Minimum = 7
- Q1 = 9
- Median = 13
- Q3 = 15
- Maximum = 19
