The Box-and-Whisker plot shows the average temperatures in, atlanta, georgia, in march. which statement about the temperatures in atlanta must be true? A. about half the days in march had average temperatures above 60 degrees. B. about half the days in march had average temperatures either below 60 or above 73 degrees C. the coldest day in march was 51 D. the hottest day in march was 84

"B. about half the days in march had average temperatures either below 60 or above 73 degrees"

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this question, note that a box plot is usually divided into quartiles, each representing approximately 25% each.

In the box plot above,

*about 25% (Q1) represents days with temperature of 60° and below. This is about ¼ of the days in March.

*About 25% (Q2) represents days with temperature between 61° and 68°. That's about ¼ of the days in March

*About 25% (Q3) represents days with temperature between 70° and 73°. That's about ¼ of the days in March

*About 25% (Q4) represents days with temperature between 74° and 82°. That's about ¼ of the days in March

*Coldest day in March has a temperature of 54°

*Hottest day in March is 82°

From the options given, the only statement that is true is "B. about half the days in march had average temperatures either below 60 or above 73 degrees"

¼ of the Days in March has temperatures below 60° (Q1), while ¼ of the days in March has temperatures above 73° (Q4). Therefore, ¼+¼ = ½ of the days in March having average temperatures either below 60 or above 73 degrees.
