=========================================

Explanation:

What your teacher wants is the five number summary.

This consists of:

Given in that exact order.

The given data set is  { 8, 19, 11, 20, 2, 14, 17, 9, 15}

This sorts to  {2, 8, 9, 11, 14, 15, 17, 19, 20}

From this sorted set, we see that 2 is the smallest item. So this is the min value. This is data point 1.

The max is the largest item, which in this case is 20, so this value goes in the box for data point 5.

---------------------

Count out the number of values in the sorted set. You should count out n = 9 items.

Because n is odd, this means the median is in slot n/2 = 9/2 = 4.5 = 5

The value in the 5th slot is 14 which is the median (data point 3).

-----------------------

Once you determine the median, break the sorted set up like so

L = {2, 8, 9, 11}

U = {15, 17, 19, 20}

L is the lower set of values smaller than the median

U is the upper set of values larger than the median

The median itself is not part of set L and not part of set U either. It's ignored entirely from this point on.

From here, we find the middle values of L and U

You should find that the middle value of L is (8+9)/2 = 17/2 = 8.5 which is the value of Q1 (data point 2)

And also, the middle value of set U is (17+19)/2 = 36/2 = 18 which is the value of Q3 (data point 4)

-----------------------

To wrap everything up, we have this five number summary

These will determine the features of the boxplot as shown below.

In this case, there are no outliers.

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
