the box plot represents the number of minutes it takes for the students in a class to run a mile.\nnumber of minutes to run a mile\nwhat is the minimum of the data?\n0\n5\n7\n13
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Recall Box Plot Min
In a box plot, the minimum data value is at the left end of the whisker.
Step2: Identify Whisker End
Looking at the box plot, the left whisker starts at 5 (the leftmost point of the whisker/box - related lines). Wait, no, wait: Wait, the box plot's whiskers: the left whisker's start (minimum) is the leftmost dot or line. Wait, the number line: the left whisker (the line before the box) starts at 5? Wait, no, looking at the plot: the leftmost part of the whisker (the horizontal line before the box) is at 5? Wait, no, the first vertical line (the left end of the whisker) is at 5? Wait, the x - axis has marks: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14. The left whisker (the line extending from the box to the minimum) starts at 5? Wait, no, the box plot's minimum is the leftmost data point, which is the left end of the left whisker. Looking at the plot, the left whisker (the horizontal line) starts at 5? Wait, no, the leftmost point of the whisker is at 5? Wait, the options are 0,5,7,13. Wait, the left whisker (the line) starts at 5? Wait, the box plot: the left whisker (the line before the box) is from 5 to the box? Wait, no, the box is between, say, 7 - 9? Wait, no, the left end of the whisker (the minimum) is 5? Wait, the x - axis: the left whisker (the horizontal line) starts at 5 (the first vertical line at 5) and goes to the box. So the minimum value is 5? Wait, no, wait the leftmost point of the data (the minimum) is the left end of the left whisker. So in the box plot, the left whisker's end (minimum) is at 5. So the minimum is 5.
