Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows a number line ranging from 43 to 48 in increments of 1. A boxplot is placed above the number line. The box is divided into two sections. The first box extends from 44 to 45.5 and the second box extends from 45.5 to 47. A line extends from 43 to the left side of the first box. Another line extends from the right side of the second box to 48.
What is the lower quartile and upper quartile of the box plot (in that order)?

Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows a number line ranging from 43 to 48 in increments of 1. A boxplot is placed above the number line. The box is divided into two sections. The first box extends from 45 to 45.5 and the second box extends from 45.5 to 46. A line extends from 43 to the left side of the first box. Another line extends from the right side of the second box to 48.
The dataset for this box plot is 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48. What is the error on the box plot?

The error on the box plot is that it displays the wrong minimum and maximum values. In the given dataset, the minimum value is 43 and the maximum value is 48, but the box plot incorrectly shows a minimum value of 45 and a maximum value of 46.
Based on the given image, the lower quartile is represented by the bottom boundary of the first box and the upper quartile is represented by the top boundary of the second box.
Therefore, the lower quartile is 44 and the upper quartile is 47.
So, the correct answer is 44 and 47.
