Question 41

The partially completed box plot shows the distribution of average temperatures at Heathrow in 2015.

A partially completed horizontal box plot on a Temperature (°C) axis labelled from 7 to 29, with fine grid divisions, a box and median line, but no whiskers or outliers.

An outlier is defined as a value more than 1.5×IQR1.5 \times \text{IQR}1.5×IQR below Q1 Q_1\,Q1​ or more than 1.5×IQR1.5 \times \text{IQR}1.5×IQR above Q3Q_3Q3​. The lowest temperature was 7.8∘C7.8^\circ\text{C}7.8∘C and the highest two temperatures were 23.4∘C23.4^\circ\text{C}23.4∘C and 27.4∘C27.4^\circ\text{C}27.4∘C.

Complete the box plot showing clearly any outliers.
