Question

The data set shows the number of people who attended an outdoor fair during the week.

Sunday 334
Monday 252
Tuesday 271
Wednesday 50
Thursday 206
Friday 153
Saturday 287

When calculating the average number of people who attended the fair, the organizers claim that they should exclude Wednesday from the data since it rained all day on Wednesday.

Evaluate this claim by selecting the statement that best reflects why the reasoning is either correct or flawed.

Answer 1

can you show me your options please @APPLE_BITE

Answer 2

The reasoning is flawed. The value for Wednesday is an outlier, but data should never be tampered with.

The reasoning is flawed. The value for Wednesday is not an outlier, and excluding it would make the data impure.

The reasoning is correct. The value for Wednesday is an outlier, and removing it would provide a better estimate of the average number of visitors.

The reasoning is correct. The value for Wednesday is not an outlier, but the value should not be included anyway due to the fact that it rained that day.

Answer 7

Tammy and Wyatt are sales associates at the same used car dealership. Their supervisor is planning to promote the employee with the best sales numbers, on average. The box plots below show their sales, in thousands of dollars, for the past 2 weeks.


Who should get the promotion and why?

Wyatt should get the promotion. His data are more evenly distributed, so his sales are more consistent.

Wyatt should get the promotion because he had the highest sales in a single day.

Tammy should get the promotion because her lowest value is higher than Wyatt's lowest value.

Tammy should get the promotion. She has a higher median with a smaller IQR, so her sales are better on average.

Answer 8

the mean is B.48

Answer 9

and can you show me the box plot?

Answer 10

Answer 11

Given the box plot, will the mean or the median provide a better description of the center?


The mean, because the data distribution is symmetrical

The mean, because the data distribution is skewed to the left

The median, because the data distribution is skewed to the left

The median, because the data distribution is skewed to the right
