Box Plots Quick Check The dataset for this box plot is 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48. What is the error on the box plot?
To create a box plot, we need to find the five-number summary: the minimum value, first quartile (Q1), median (Q2), third quartile (Q3), and maximum value.
In this case, the dataset is: 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48.
The five-number summary is:
Minimum value: 43
Q1: 44
Median: 45.5
Q3: 47
Maximum value: 48
To plot the box plot, we need to find the interquartile range (IQR), which is the difference between Q3 and Q1:
IQR = Q3 - Q1 = 47 - 44 = 3
Then, we can find the error using the IQR:
Error = 1.5 * IQR = 1.5 * 3 = 4.5
Therefore, the error on the box plot for this dataset is 4.5.
