Royce kept track of the inches of snowfall in his town over a 15-day period. Royce's data is given below.

The correct option - Figure A

Step-by-step explanation:

The exact question is as follows :

Given - Royce kept track of the inches of snowfall in his town over a 15-day period. Royce's data is given below.

1, 0, 0, 3, 5, 0, 0, 0, 2, 2, 1, 7, 2, 2, 3

To find - Which box plot shows this data set?

Solution -

Given the data is -

1, 0, 0, 3, 5, 0, 0, 0, 2, 2, 1, 7, 2, 2, 3

Firstly,

Arrange the data from smallest to largest

0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 5, 7

Now,

Find the median

Median is the middle value - i.e. (15 + 1)/2 = 8th value

So, we get Median = 2

Now,

Find the Quartile -

The first quartile is the median of the data points to the left of the median.

i.e. Median of 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1

so, we get

Q1 = 0

The third quartile is the median of the data points to the right of the median.

i.e. Median of 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 5, 7

so, we get

Q3 = 3

Now,

Compute the min and the max

Minimum value = 0

Maximum value - 7

So,

five number summary is -

0, 0, 2, 3, 7

And we draw the box as follows -

So,

The correct option - Figure A

i think the answer is b
