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?
Responses
A. The box plot displays the wrong median and upper quartile.
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.
In the dataset given (71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78), the minimum value is 71 and the maximum value is 78. However, the box plot shows the minimum value extending from 71 to 72.5 and the maximum value extending from 76.5 to 78. This is incorrect.
wrong
Apologies for the mistake. Here is the correct answer:
A. The box plot displays the wrong median and upper quartile.
The box plot shows the first box (which represents the lower quartile, median, and upper quartile) as ranging from 72.5 to 76.5, which is incorrect based on the dataset provided.
still wrong pookie
I apologize for the confusion. The correct error in the box plot is:
D. The box plot displays the wrong minimum value.
The box plot extends from 72.5 to 74 for the first section, indicating that 72.5 is the minimum value, but in the dataset provided, the minimum value is actually 71.
