Twenty people apply for an open position at an accountant's office. The distribution of ages of the applicants is shown in the box plot.

Distribution of Applicant's Ages

How many of

age in years

the applicants have ages that fall within the box of the box plot?

Please help

The number of applicants that have ages that fall within the box of the boxplot = 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

box plot is constructed from five values: the minimum value, the first quartile, the median, the third quartile, and the maximum value.

The boxplot usually consists of a box and a whisker plot.

The whiskers represent data that is less than the first quartile or 25th percentile and data that is more than the third quartile or 75th percentile.

The box of the boxplot is bounded by the first quartile or 25th percentile and the third quartile or 75th percentile.

Hence, the fraction of the distribution that is usually contained in the box of the boxplot is (75 - 25), 50% of the distribution.

The total number of applicants = 20

50% of 20 = 10.

Hence, the number of applicants that have ages that fall within the box of the boxplot = 10

Hope this Helps!!!
