Math Problem Statement

Find the value in the dataset such that 50% of observations are above and 50% of observations are below based on this box-and-whisker plot.

Find the value in the dataset such that 50% of observations are above and 50% of observations are below based on this box-and-whisker plot.

Solution

In a box-and-whisker plot (boxplot), the value that splits the dataset in half, with 50% of the observations above and 50% below, is the median. This is represented by the line inside the box.

From the image, the line inside the box appears to be around 60, indicating that the median value of the dataset is approximately 60.

  5. How do we interpret the whiskers in the plot?

Tip: In a box-and-whisker plot, the length of the box represents the interquartile range (IQR), which measures the spread of the middle 50% of the data.
