Textbook Question
Graphical Analysis In Exercises 13 and 14, use the box-and-whisker plot to identify the five-number summary.


1
Step 1: Understand the components of the box-and-whisker plot. The five-number summary consists of the minimum, first quartile (Q1), median (Q2), third quartile (Q3), and maximum values.
Step 2: Identify the minimum value. This is the smallest point on the left whisker, which corresponds to 0 in the plot.
Step 3: Identify the first quartile (Q1). This is the left edge of the box, which corresponds to 2 in the plot.
Step 4: Identify the median (Q2). This is the line inside the box, which corresponds to 5 in the plot.
Step 5: Identify the third quartile (Q3) and maximum value. The right edge of the box corresponds to Q3 (8), and the largest point on the right whisker corresponds to the maximum value (10).
