Which modified box plot represents the data set?
2, 8, 18, 7, 42, 12, 16, 14, 11, 4, 1, 10, 19

Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Arrange the data 2, 8, 18, 7, 42, 12, 16, 14, 11, 4, 1, 10, 19 in ascending order:
1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 18, 19, 42
The number 42 is an outlier of the data.
1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 18, 19, 42
Write a five-number summary:
Min: 1
Q1: 5.5 (the average between the middle terms of first half of the data)
Med: 11 (the middle term of the data)
Q3: 17 (the average between the middle terms of second half of the data)
Max: 19
Outlier: 42
Only option D shows
Answer:
The last box plot
Step-by-step explanation:
A box plot is simply a graphical representation of the 5 number summary of a data set;
The minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, and the maximum
in that order.
We can therefore arrange our given data set from the least to the greatest value;
1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 18, 19, 42
The value 42 is an outlier since it is more extreme than the rest of the values.
From our arrangement of the data values above, we can note the following;
The minimum value is 1
The maximum value is 19
42 is an outlier, will be represented by a dark circle
The box-plot that matches the above is the last one and is thus the correct modified box-plot for the data
