Suppose a biologist is studying the population of fish in freshwater lakes. He collects data on the number of different species of fish found in 20 lakes. The boxplot displays the results of the study with species of fish in intervals of 50. On a boxplot, the left whisker starts between 150 and 200 species and the right whisker ends at 650 species. The box begins at 250 species, ends at 450 species, and is marked with a line segment between 350 and 400 species. Create a five-number summary of the data set. Round values to the nearest 25 species.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 5-number summary of a box plot is the lowest number, the highest number, quartile 1, quartile 2 (which is also the median), and quartile 3.

Lowest value: 175

Highest value: 650

Q1: 250

Q2: 375

Q3: 450
