Calculate the quartile deviation of the ages of the patients surveyed.

Expert Solution

Step 1

Consider the given Box and Whisker plot:

The values at the most extreme vertical lines (which are represented by bold vertical lines) indicate the lowest (i.e., the minimum) and the highest (i.e., the maximum value) of the observed data set. Whereas, the bold vertical lines at the extreme ends of the box denote the values at the first quartile or Q₁ (represented by the vertical line at the extreme left of the box) and third quartile or Q₃ (represented by the vertical line at the extreme right of the box). he median (or Q₂) is represented as the vertical line within the box.
