Waste Boxplot 6C4B8B
1. Problem: We need to identify which statement about the municipal waste quantities in four cities (mesto 1 to mesto 4) shown in the box plot is NOT correct.
2. Understanding the box plot data:
- Median is the middle value of the data.
- Variacijski razmik (range) is the difference between the maximum and minimum values.
3. Analyze each statement:
A. "Mesto 3 ima največjo mediano." (City 3 has the highest median.)
- From the graph, mesto 1 median is slightly above 12,000.
- Mesto 3 median is around 10,500.
- Mesto 1 median is higher than mesto 3, so statement A is false.
B. "Najmanjša količina komunalnih odpadkov, odloženih v mestu 2, je bila za manj kot 1.000 ton večja od največje količine odpadkov, odloženih v mestu 4." (The minimum waste in city 2 is less than 1,000 tons more than the maximum waste in city 4.)
- Mesto 2 minimum is about 6,000.
- Mesto 4 maximum is about 5,200.
- Difference is about 800, which is less than 1,000, so statement B is true.
C. "Največji variacijski razmik ima mesto 3." (City 3 has the largest range.)
- Mesto 3 range: approx 12,000 - 8,500 = 3,500.
- Mesto 1 range: approx 12,500 - 12,000 = 500.
- Mesto 2 range: approx 7,000 - 6,000 = 1,000.
- Mesto 4 range: approx 5,200 - 4,500 = 700.
- Mesto 3 has the largest range, so statement C is true.
D. "Mediana mesta 1 je večja od 12.000." (Median of city 1 is greater than 12,000.)
- Median of mesto 1 is slightly above 12,000, so statement D is true.
4. Conclusion: The statement that is NOT correct is A.
Final answer: A
