ANSWER:
Solution:
Step 1 of 4:
- FALSE.
Whiskers are the vertical lines that extending from the top and bottom of the box. To find the whiskers we will find the largest sample value that is no more than 1.5 IQR (Interquartile range) above the third quartile , and the smallest sample value that is no more than 1.5 IQR (interquartile range) below the first quartile. Which means the length of whisker is not equal to the 1.5 IQR. But the length of whiskers is at most 1.5 IQR.
