The 5-number summary provided is:

  • Minimum: 3
  • First Quartile (Q1): 5.0
  • Median (Q2): 5.5
  • Third Quartile (Q3): 8
  • Maximum: 10
Step 2: Analyze the boxplot options

We need to identify the boxplot that correctly represents the given 5-number summary. The boxplot should have:

  • The left whisker starting at 3
  • The left edge of the box at 5.0
  • The line inside the box at 5.5
  • The right edge of the box at 8
  • The right whisker ending at 10
Step 3: Compare the boxplots to the 5-number summary
  • Option A: The boxplot does not match the given 5-number summary.
  • Option B: The boxplot matches the given 5-number summary.
  • Option C: The boxplot does not match the given 5-number summary.
  • Option D: The boxplot does not match the given 5-number summary.
