Jack incorrect plotted the third quartile.

Explanation:

A box plot has 5 data descriptions. The option that Jack marked incorrectly is Median.

How does a boxplot show the data points?

A box plot has 5 data descriptions:

  • The leftmost whisker shows the minimum value in the data.
  • The rightmost whisker shows the maximum value in the data.
  • The leftmost line in the box shows the first quartile.
  • The middle line shows the median, also called the second quartile.
  • The last line of the box shows the third quartile.

In the given box plot, the median is plotted wrongly, because the median of the box plot is not 3.9.

Hence, the option that Jack marked incorrectly is Median.
