box plot with min at 11, Q1 at 22.5, median at 34.5, Q3 at 32, max at 37.5

Answer 14

I just sent you the right link

Answer 15

Oh

Answer 16

A. The mean, because the data distribution is symmetrical
B. The mean, because the data distribution is skewed to the left
C. The median, because the data distribution is skewed to the left
D. The median, because the data distribution is skewed to the right

Are these your choices?

Answer 17

yes

Answer 18

I don't think B is correct..because it will include the outliers that make it skewed, however the median won't..

Answer 19

I agree i was looking at a different question, its either c or b

Answer 20

so c?

Answer 21

Yep, you got it.

Answer 22

Not 100% sure though

Answer 23

Answer 24

Which of the following is true of the data set represented by the box plot?

box plot with min at 10.5, Q1 at 11.5, median at 12.5, Q3 at 13.5, max at 15
The data contains at least one outlier. The mean and median are most likely the same or very close. The data is skewed to the right. The median is 11.
