Explanation:

Given : Given : The data set represents the total number of people who bought bananas each hour at a grocery store 1, 1, 5, 5, 7, 8, 8, 10, 12.

To find : Which box plot correctly represents the data.

Solution : We have given that data 1, 1, 5, 5, 7, 8, 8, 10, 12.

We can see from data

Median : 7

Upper quartile : 1 ,1, 5, 5.

Median of upper quartile :
`(1+5)/(2)` = 3.

Lower quartile : 8, 8, 10, 12.

Median of lower quartile :
`(8+10)/(2)` = 9.

So, the box which show the range from 1 to 12

and lower box line at 3 and middle line at 7 for median and lower line at 9

represent by the box A.

Therefore, Box A represent the given data.
