1. **State the problem:** We have a data set of leftover cupcakes: 16, 31, 12, 28, 28, 20, 22, 22, 32, 16, 14, 25.
2. **Goal:** Determine which box plot correctly represents this data.
3. **Step 1: Order the data from least to greatest:**
$$12, 14, 16, 16, 20, 22, 22, 25, 28, 28, 31, 32$$
4. **Step 2: Find the minimum and maximum values:**
Minimum = 12
Maximum = 32
5. **Step 3: Find the median (Q2):**
There are 12 data points, so median is average of 6th and 7th values:
$$\frac{22 + 22}{2} = 22$$
6. **Step 4: Find the first quartile (Q1):**
Lower half (first 6 values): 12, 14, 16, 16, 20, 22
Median of lower half is average of 3rd and 4th values:
$$\frac{16 + 16}{2} = 16$$
7. **Step 5: Find the third quartile (Q3):**
Upper half (last 6 values): 22, 25, 28, 28, 31, 32
Median of upper half is average of 3rd and 4th values:
$$\frac{28 + 28}{2} = 28$$
8. **Summary:**
Minimum = 12
Q1 = 16
Median = 22
Q3 = 28
Maximum = 32
9. **Interpretation:**
The box plot should have whiskers at 12 and 32, a box from 16 to 28, and a median line at 22.
10. **Conclusion:**
The bottom box plot matches these values.
**Final answer:** The bottom box plot represents the data.
