Twenty contractors have bid on the next job the boxplot


The Michigan Department of Transportation (M-DOT) is working on a major project: 80% of the highways in Michigan need to be repaved. To speed completion of this project, many contractors will be working for M-DOT. Contractors are currently bidding on the next part of the project. To help make a decision about which contractor to hire, M-DOT collects many variables other than just the estimated cost. One of those variables is the contractor's estimate of the number of workdays required to finish the job. Twenty contractors have bid on the next job. The boxplot below represents their estimates of the number of work days required.
