Question

Jenny recorded the weight of 5 dogs. Each dog weighed a different amount. She recorded the results on a box plot. Which conclusion can be made about the interquartile range of Jenny’s box plot

Answer 1

The middle 50% of the dogs weighed between 5 and 15 lbs. 

Answer 2

The middle 50% of the dogs weighed between 5 and 15 pounds is the conclusion that can be made about the interquartile range of Jenny’s box plot.

To add, the box plot (a.k.a. box and whisker diagram) is a standardized way of displaying the distribution of data based on the five number summary: minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, and maximum.
