The following data shows rainfall in a forest, in inches, on consecutive days of a month: 2.7, 2.6, 2.4, 2.5, 2.8, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.4, 2.3, 2.5 Which box plot best represents the data? box plot with minimum value 2.3, lower quartile 2.4, median 2.6, upper quartile 2.7, and maximum value 2.8 box plot with minimum value 2.2, lower quartile 2.4, median 2.6, upper quartile 2.7, and maximum value 2.8 box plot with minimum value 2.3, lower quartile 2.4, median 2.5, upper quartile 2.7, and maximum value 2.8 box plot with minimum value 2.2, lower quartile 2.4, median 2.5, upper quartile 2.6, and maximum value 2.8

(A) Box plot with minimum value 2.3, lower quartile 2.4, median 2.6, upper quartile 2.7, and maximum value 2.8

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data set is:

2.7, 2.6, 2.4, 2.5, 2.8, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.4, 2.3, 2.5

Now, arranging the given data set in ascending order, we get

2.3, 2.4, 2.4, 2.5, 2.5, 2.6, 2.6, 2.7, 2.7, 2.8, 2.8

Now, The lower quartile is given as:

2.3, 2.4, 2.4, 2.5, 2.5

Thus, lower quartile=2.4

Also, the upper quartile is given as:

2.7, 2.8, 2.4, 2.3, 2.5

Thus, upper quartile=2.7

Now, from the given data set, it can be seen minimum value of the data set is 2.3 and the maximum value of the data set is 2.8.

Thus, option (A) is correct.

Box plot with minimum value=2.3,

lower quartile=2.4,

median=2.6,

upper quartile=2.7

and maximum value=2.8
