Question

WILL MEDAL FOR HELP

Given the box plot, will the mean or the median provide a better description of the center?

box plot with min at 11, Q1 at 22.5, median at 34.5, Q3 at 36, max at 37.5

The mean, because the data distribution is symmetrical
The mean, because the data distribution is skewed to the left
The median, because the data distribution is skewed to the left
The median, because the data distribution is skewed to the right

Answer 1

well you can safely say for b and c are out because it is skewed to the right but that only leaves you with a and d...hope this helps

here's something to encourage you to find out this problem

Answer 2

Can I ask why you think it's skewed to the right and not the left? I'm confused @Electric_Blue

Answer 3

well you have to look at the numbers of the min, median, and max to find it out :)

Answer 4

@ddddddd2 on your picture you see the lines like this | ?

they mark the numbers of min, median, and max

except the numbers with the Q's i don't know what those are

min at 11, Q1 at 22.5, median at 34.5, Q3 at 36, max at 37.5
