Question

The table below shows the number of hours some college athletes in two states spend on indoor sports each week:


State A 7 9 5 4 25 21 6 6 8
State B 14 12 10 13 15 14 11 15 16


Part A: Create a five-number summary and calculate the interquartile range for the two sets of data. (6 points)

Part B: Are the box plots symmetric? Justify your answer. (4 points)

Answer 1

Answer 2

do you know how to do this

Answer 3

Population size:18
Lower quartile (xL): 6.75
Upper quartile (xU): 15

Interquartile range (xU-xL): 8.25

Answer 4

thanks

Answer 5

It's not symmetrical either

Answer 6

how do you justify that uts not symmetrical

Answer 7

it's negatively skewed, because the lower quartile is farther from the median than the upper quartile.

Answer 8

your the best

Answer 9

@TylerDaPro almost none of that is correct.

It asks for a 5 number summary. The five numbers you're looking for are
minimum - lowest number
first quartile - median of all numbers less than the median
median - middle number
3rd quartile - median of all numbers greater than the median
maximum - highest number

You can get them after you put the numbers in order or use this calculator

You have 2 sets of data, so there will be 2 five number summaries. Do the calculation for state A, then do it again for State B.
