3. The lowest value for the five subjects is ______, ______, ______, ______, ______
4. ______ subject has two outliers with the value ______ and ______
5. ______ subject shows minimum variation

Answer 1

1. The median for the five subjects is 80, 50, 55, 56, 76.
2. The highest value for the five subjects is 95, 95, 90, 94, 95.
3. The lowest value for the five subjects is 60, 33, 39, 48, 54.
4. Social studies subject has two outliers with the value 95 and 94.
5. Social studies subject shows minimum variation

Explanation:

• Median: The median represents the middle value of marks in each subject. The median values are 80, 50, 55, 56, and 76.
• Highest Value: The highest values represent the maximum marks obtained in each subject. The maximum values are 95, 95, 90, 94, and 95.
• Lowest Value: The lowest values represent the minimum marks obtained in each subject. The minimum values are 60, 33, 39, 48, and 54.
• Social Studies has two outliers with values 95 and 94: outliers are the values that are far away from the normal range of data. In social studies, 95 and 94 are shown as outliers in the boxplot.
• Social Studies shows minimum variation: Social Studies has the smallest spread in the boxplot, which indicates that the marks are less scattered and students' performance is more consistent.
