OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do I have to find the mean and median of both data sets?

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

Okay, so if we were looking at this as more of a graph, and not the boxplot, what would the graph look like? And to answer that question, basically yes...since the promotion will go to the one with the best sales on AVERAGE ....we know AVERAGE = Mean

OpenStudy (igreen):

The median is already given.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well the mean for Tammy would be less than the median

OpenStudy (anonymous):

give me a sec

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yeah, it would

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's hard to tell where the minimum and max begins

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait since Wyatts is more symmetrical it would be his right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because that means the median and mode are pretty much the same

OpenStudy (igreen):

I don't think so

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Or it would be tammy because his isn't so that's why he should get the promotion

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or she

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yeah..he has a higher Median and the box plots are about the same

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait so Tammy has a higher mean than Wyatt??

OpenStudy (igreen):

Median, not mean.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok I was right, sorry misread haha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it would be D

OpenStudy (igreen):

You didn't give options.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ooh sorry give me a sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Who should get the promotion, and why? 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 (igreen):

Yeah..D sounds right.
