Question

Marc is trying to determine how many blue marbles are in a bag of `100` marbles. he can only fit `10` marbles in his hand at a time. he takes `11` samples of `10` marbles, returning the marbles to the bag each time. based on these results, how many of the `100` marbles do you expect are blue

Answer 1

Based on the result from the box plot, the number of blue marbles is equal to the median of the data set and this is equal to 40.

What is a boxplot?

A boxplot is a type of chart that can be used to graphically represent the five-number summary of a data set with respect to locality, skewness, and spread. Also, the five-number summary include the following:

• Minimum

• First quartile

• Median

• Third quartile

• Maximum

For this exercise, we would create a box plot (see attachment) for the marbles in a bag of 100 marbles. By critically observing the box plot, we can logically deduce that the number of blue marbles is equal to the median of the data set and this is given by:

Median = 4 × 10

Median = 40.
