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: ANSWERS:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wyatt should get the promotion. His data is 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.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like constant money is flowing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you agree with me when I say it's not C or D?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know for sure it's not C, and I calculated D, and it proved to be incorrect.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, I guess it's A then haha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you very much

OpenStudy (anonymous):
