Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's analyze the given data set and calculate the required statistical measures:
Data: 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 16, 16, 18
-
Minimum (Min): The smallest value in the data set.
-
First Quartile (Q1): The median of the first half of the data set (excluding the median if the number of data points is odd). Data set (first half): 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13
-
Median (Med): The middle value of the data set. Data set: 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 16, 16, 18
-
Third Quartile (Q3): The median of the second half of the data set (excluding the median if the number of data points is odd). Data set (second half): 14, 15, 16, 16, 16, 18
-
Maximum (Max): The largest value in the data set.
Now, let's create the box plot using these measures:
- The box plot will have a box extending from Q1 (10.5) to Q3 (16).
- The median line will be at 13.5.
- The whiskers will extend from the minimum value (6) to the maximum value (18).
Here is the filled information for the measures:
- Min: 6
- Q1: 10.5
- Med: 13.5
- Q3: 16
- Max: 18
Would you like a detailed explanation of any specific part of this analysis? Also, here are some related questions you might find interesting:

- How do different types of distributions affect the shape of a box plot?
Tip: Understanding how to interpret a box plot can help you quickly grasp the spread and skewness of a data set.
