Complete the statements based on the boxplot:

The number line goes from 20 to 70. The whiskers range from 23 to 62, and the box ranges from 27 to 45. A line divides the box at 33.

The minimum is:

a) 23
b) 27
c) 33
d) 45

Answer :

Final answer:

The minimum value on the boxplot is the smallest value extended by the whiskers, which is 23.he minimum value of the dataset based on the boxplot provided is 23. Therefore, the correct answer is a) 23.

Explanation:

The question refers to a boxplot, a type of graph that is used in statistics to display the distribution of a dataset. Based on the given information, the minimum value in the dataset is the smallest value that the whiskers extend to, which is 23. This is because the whiskers on a boxplot extend from the quartiles to the minimum and maximum values that are not considered outliers.

To answer the student's question directly: The minimum value of the dataset based on the boxplot provided is 23. Therefore, the correct answer is a) 23.

  1. Determine the range of the box: 45 - 27 = 18 units.
  2. The line that divides the box at 33 is the minimum value within the box.
  3. Hence, the correct answer is c) 33.
