What data does a box plot display? a. the minimum, the maximum, the lower and upper quartiles, and the median on a rectangular box aligned either horizontally or vertically b. the minimum, the maximum, and the mean on a rectangular box aligned vertically only c. the minimum, the maximum, the range, and the mean on a rectangular box aligned horizontally only d. the minimum, the maximum, the variance, and the lower and uper quartiles on a rectangular box aligned horizontally or vertically

Answer 1

A boxplot is a standardized way of displaying the distribution of data based on a five number summary (“minimum”, first quartile (Q1), median, third quartile (Q3), and “maximum”). It can tell you about your outliers and what their values are. It can also tell you if your data is symmetrical, how tightly your data is grouped, and if and how your data is skewed.

Hence answer here is a. the minimum, the maximum, the lower and upper quartiles, and the median on a rectangular box aligned either horizontally or vertically
