Correct :)
The correct answer is A: A box and whisker plot is a graphic way to display the median, quartiles, and extremes of a data set on a number line to show the distribution of the data.
To create a box and whisker plot, you need the following steps:
Step 1: Organize your data in ascending order.
Step 2: Find the median, which is the middle value in your data set.
Step 3: Find the lower quartile, which is the median of the lower half of the data set.
Step 4: Find the upper quartile, which is the median of the upper half of the data set.
Step 5: Determine the minimum and maximum values, also known as the extremes, in your data set.
Step 6: Draw a number line and mark the minimum, lower quartile, median, upper quartile, and maximum values.
Step 7: Draw a box that extends from the lower quartile to the upper quartile, and draw a line (whisker) from each end of the box to the minimum and maximum values respectively.
Step 8: Label your plot appropriately, including a title and appropriate axis labels.
A box and whisker plot is useful for visually representing the spread and skewness of a data set, and for comparing multiple data sets. It allows you to quickly identify the minimum and maximum values, as well as the range, interquartile range, and any outliers in the data.
