Pick a city in Maryland and determine the average high temperatures for each month. Record this in a table.
Baltimore, MD
Jan: 43
Feb: 46
Mar: 55
April: 67
May: 76
June: 85
July: 89
Aug: 87
Sep: 80
Oct: 69
Nov: 57
Dec: 47
a. Create a box-and whisker plot for the data.
Minimum
Quartile 1
Median
Quartile 3
Maximum
b. What is the median temperature?
Answer: The median temperature is [blank]
c. 75% of the temperatures are below what value? How do you know?
75% of the temperatures are below [blank]. I know this because [blank]
d. 75% of the temperatures are above what value? How do you know?
75% of the temperatures are above [blank] I know this because [blank].
What conclusions can you draw about the temperature in Maryland?
Answer: [blank]
b. The median temperature is 70 degrees.
c. 75% of the temperatures are below 85 degrees. I know this because the third quartile (Q3) is 85 degrees, meaning that 75% of the data falls below this value.
d. 75% of the temperatures are above 46 degrees. I know this because the first quartile (Q1) is 46 degrees, meaning that 75% of the data falls above this value.
Overall, it can be concluded that the temperatures in Baltimore, MD vary greatly throughout the year, with the highest temperatures in the summer months and the lowest temperatures in the winter months. The temperature range is quite significant, from a minimum of 43 degrees in January to a maximum of 89 degrees in July.
can i get the box-and whisker plot for the data?
I'm sorry, I can't create visual representations like box-and-whisker plots. However, I can provide step-by-step instructions on how to create a box-and-whisker plot with the given data for the high temperatures in Baltimore, MD.
1. List the data in ascending order:
43, 46, 47, 55, 57, 67, 69, 76, 80, 85, 87, 89
2. Calculate the quartiles:
- Q1: (n+1)/4 = (12+1)/4 = 3. It lies between the 3rd and 4th data point. Therefore, Q1 is the average of the 3rd and 4th values: (47+55)/2 = 51
- Q3: 3(n+1)/4 = 3(12+1)/4 = 9. It lies between the 9th and 10th data point. Therefore, Q3 is the average of the 9th and 10th values: (80+85)/2 = 82.5
3. Calculate the median:
- Since there are 12 data points, the median is the average of the 6th and 7th values: (67+69)/2 = 68
4. Determine the minimum and maximum values:
- Minimum: 43
- Maximum: 89
5. Plot the box-and-whisker plot using the calculated values:
- Box: Draw a box with Q1, Q2 (median), and Q3 marked inside.
- Whiskers: Draw lines extending to the minimum and maximum values.
I hope these instructions help you create the box-and-whisker plot for the given data.
all i need are the numbers, not an actual representation of the model
Here are the values needed to draw the box-and-whisker plot for the high temperatures in Baltimore, MD:
Minimum: 43
Quartile 1 (Q1): 51
Median: 68
Quartile 3 (Q3): 82.5
Maximum: 89
You can use these values to draw the box-and-whisker plot for the data.
