The boxplot below displays the student debts (in $) of a large number of students graduating from four-year colleges:
Note: The numbers on the x-axis correspond to the minimum, Q1, M, Q3, and the Maximum.
Within which interval would you expect to find the greatest number of student debts?
ANSWER:
$17,000-$21,000
Good job!. Note that 17,000 is below Q1, and 21,000 is the median M, so we expect more than 25% of the student debts to fall in this interval. None of the other intervals have more than 25% of the students' debts; one interval has exactly 25%, and the other two less than 25%.
