11.2 Practice A
In Exercises 1–6, use the box-and-whisker plot to find the given measure.

2 5 6 8 10

0 2 4 6 8 10 12

1. least value 2 2. median 6 3. greatest value 10

4. third quartile 8 5. range 8 6. first quartile 5

In Exercises 7 and 8, make a box-and-whisker plot that represents the data.

7. Hours of exercise per week: 0, 7, 2, 5, 12, 2, 0, 9 0 12
1 3.5 8
8. Numbers of cars in a parking lot: 12, 35, 20, 17, 24, 30, 28, 16
12 16.5 22 29 35
9. The dot plot represents the numbers of customers at the tables in a restaurant.
Make a box-and-whisker plot that represents the data.

0 0.5 2 4 6

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

10. The box-and-whisker plot represents a data set. Determine whether each statement
is true. Explain your reasoning.

1 5 6 8 10

0 2 4 6 8 10 12

a. The data set contains the value 11. No it doesn't, since the maximum is 10.

b. The distribution is skewed left. Yes, if speaking in the terms of what side has a greater
length in value then the left would be right.
