High School

Kalian surveyed her friends to find out how many times per week they each read. The table below shows the number of times each friend reads in a typical week.

6, 4, 12, 4, 0, 5, 6, 12, 8, 8

Answer :

The box plot that best represents the data is: Box Plot 3

How to Interpret the Box Plot?

The given data is: 6 4 12 4 0 5 6 12 8 8

Arranging in ascending order gives:

0, 4, 4, 5, 6, 6, 8, 8, 12, 12

First quartile: Q₁ = 4

Second quartile: Q₂ = (6 + 6)/2 = 6

Third Quartile: Q₃ = 8

Start point = 0

End point = 12

Thus, the correct boxplot is : Option 3

Complete question is:

Kalian surveyed her friends to find how many times per week they each read. The table shows the number of times each friend reads in a typical week. Which box plot best represents the data?
