Q8 Make a box-and-whisker plot of the data.
275, 257, 301, 218, 265, 242, 201
To create a box-and-whisker plot, we first need to find the five-number summary of the data set:
Min: 201
Q1: 219.25
Median (Q2): 257
Q3: 275
Max: 301
Next, we can plot the box-and-whisker plot:
Min (201) ------------------------------|---------(219.25)--(257)--(275)--|(301)----------------------- Max
The box represents the interquartile range (IQR), which is the range of values between Q1 and Q3. The line inside the box represents the median. The whiskers extend from the minimum value to the maximum value.

Here is the box-and-whisker plot for the data {275, 257, 301, 218, 265, 242, 201}:
Min: 201
Q1: 218
Median: 257
Q3: 275
Max: 301
Min (201) - Q1 (218) - Median (257) - Q3 (275) - Max (301)
