Follow the steps you used to graph a box-and-whisker plot for the data values shown.

0;5;5;15;30;30;45;50;50;60;75;110;140;240;330

Short Answer

Expert verified

We may deduce from the box plot that the distribution is more or less positively skewed, and that there is an outlier in the data.

Step by step solution

01

Introduction

Below is the graph to determine the box and whisker plot of data.

02

Explanation

03

Step : 3 Explanation 

The shape of the distribution is defined by the box plot.
It provides an overview of the quartiles.
As a result, we can quickly grasp the concepts of skewness and median.
The fundamental aspect of a boxplot is that it is primarily used to find outliers.
An outlier is a star that is outside of the acceptable range and is indicated on the plot.
There is one outlier in our example, which is330.
The 1stquartiles are represented by the end points of the boxplot below, while the 3rdquartile is represented by the end point of the boxplot above.
So the data in the boxplot is 50%of the data, and the data outside of the interval is 50%of the data.
