Answer 1

We have been given an box and whisker plot which shows the average temperatures in Atlanta, Georgia, in March .

We are asked to choose the correct option which must be true about the temperatures in Atlanta. Let us see given options one by one.

a) After looking at data represented by our whisker and box plot we can say this option is incorrect because 60 degrees is median of first quartile.

b) This option is incorrect. 54 degrees is the lowest temperature and 73 degrees is median of third quartile.

c) This is the correct option because outlier on the left hand side shows the minimum value of data which is 54 degrees.

d) In  this option we have been told that the hottest day in March was 84 degrees, which is wrong because our maximum value is 82 degrees represented by right side outlier.

Therefore, option c is the correct choice. " The coldest day in March was 54 degrees" is true.
