Question

May I have some help?

Answer 1

yeah

Answer 2

The box plots show the average daily temperatures in July and August for a U.S. city:

the graph is in a separate attachment.

What can you tell about the means for these two months? (1 point)

The August high is above the July median. This makes it hard to know about the means.
Both months have the same low temperature. This makes it hard to know about the means.
It is unlikely, but possible that the July mean could be higher.
There is no way to tell what the means are.

Answer 3

I think the answer is d.

Answer 4

@AlexandervonHumboldt2

Answer 5

hmm not sure but i would say C

Answer 6

ok thanks

Answer 7

i 'm not sure thought

Answer 8

i can be wrong

Answer 9

ill have someone else take a look as well:)

Answer 10

@perl could you please take a look at this?

Answer 11

i think the answer is d. but im not positive anymore

Answer 12

what is this graph called, box and whisker?

Answer 13

yes or it could be called box plot

Answer 14

The mean is most likely found in the shaded box
July's shaded box is overall of greater value than the shaded box of August

Answer 15

If the longer part of the box is to the right (or above) the median (the line in the box), the data is said to be skewed right. If the longer part is to the left (or below) the median, the data is skewed left.

Answer 16

ok then would you say the answer is c.?

Answer 17

@perl @jigglypuff314

Answer 18

For a right skewed distribution, the mean is typically greater than the median.
For a left skewed distribution, the mean is typically less than the median.

Answer 19

ok then what do you think the answer could be... i understand what your saying but i dont understand which answer is right

Answer 20

would you say it could possibly be c. then because non of the other besides d. makes sense

Answer 21

can type out the possible answers again,

Answer 22

The August high is above the July median. This makes it hard to know about the means.

Answer 23

Both months have the same low temperature. This makes it hard to know about the means.

Answer 24

the possible options are:
The August high is above the July median. This makes it hard to know about the means.
Both months have the same low temperature. This makes it hard to know about the means.
It is unlikely, but possible that the July mean could be higher.
There is no way to tell what the means are.

Answer 25

It is unlikely, but possible that the July mean could be higher.
There is no way to tell what the means are.

Answer 26

those are the possible answers

Answer 27

well i want to say that c makes sense, but i have some doubts

Answer 28

same here cause all the other ones are weird

Answer 29

we know that
the july data is left skewed (negatively skewed)
the august data is right skewed (positively skewed)

Answer 30

yes

Answer 31

so the mean for july is less than the july median of around temperature 97.

the mean for august is greater than the august median of around temperature 84

Answer 32

yes so i guess c. It is unlikely, but possible that the July mean could be higher. would make the most sense

Answer 33

well i guess it wouldnt be possible but at the same time it can be possible to guess the mean. im torn between c and d

Answer 34

the mean can be effected by the outliers for either month. thats why its difficult to say what the means are

Answer 35

ok ill go with d. then

Answer 36

the range of possibilities for the means are :
80 < July mean < 96
84 < August mean < 100

Answer 37

that makes sense but there is no way to know what the mean is for sure i mean either c or d could work i just dont know which one

Answer 38

i think im going to go with d.
