Use the image to answer the question.

An illustration shows a number line ranging from 71 to 78 in increments of 1. A boxplot is placed above the number line. The box is divided into two sections. The first box extends from 72.5 to 74 and the second box extends from 74 to 76.5. A line extends from 71 to the left side of the first box. Another line extends from the right side of the second box to 78.

The dataset for this box plot is 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78. What is the error on the box plot?

B. The box plot displays the wrong median.
C. The box plot displays the wrong minimum and maximum values.
D. The box plot displays the wrong minimum value.

C. The box plot displays the wrong minimum and maximum values.

The minimum value in the dataset is 71 and the maximum value is 78, but the box plot extends beyond those values.

how?

In the box plot described, the line extends from 71 to the left side of the box, and from the right side of the box to 78. This indicates that the minimum value is 71 and the maximum value is 78. However, since the box plot itself only covers the range from 72.5 to 76.5, it incorrectly represents the range of the dataset.

Okay, Thank you.
