A box plot was made to represent the number of matches won by 14 participants in a tennis tournament. The box plot was symmetric. Based on the box plot, which conclusion is most likely correct?

Question

undeadknight26 · Answer

There are no participants who won exceptionally large or small number of matches compared to other participants.

 The mean of matches won by participants is more than the median of matches won by participants.

 Most of the participants won many matches but some participants won very few matches compared to the others.

We need to see a picture of the box plot.

undeadknight26 · Answer

There is none.

anonymous · Answer

Oh. I missed the word symmetrical.

solomonzelman · Answer

So see why is it not A or B  ?

solomonzelman · Answer

there can be symmetrical boxes with same mean and median, so not necessarily B

the box plot can be like a U shaped, so not A.

solomonzelman · Answer

for B I mean 7 by 2.

solomonzelman · Answer

and so can 7 by 2 box disprove C.

solomonzelman · Answer

and so can be D disproved by 7 by 2 box.

solomonzelman · Answer

Well... one of these is more likely, I can't tell which of these is more likely to happen. All I showed is that none of them are for sure true.
