Vocaloid:

this is partly opinion-based but you would identify the highest value, the lowest value, and decide which intervals would be appropriate based on that in your example, the lowest # is 5 and the highest # is 35 so you could go up by units of 5, for example first interval: 5-10 second interval: 11-16 third interval: 17-21, etc. then, you would sort each data value into its appropriate interval and provide the corresponding frequencies

Vocaloid:

well they show the same data and spread, one of them shows the individual data points, the other one only shows how many fall within each interval

Vocaloid:

any thoughts? do you think the sample might be biased?

Nicole:

I think it is biased

Vocaloid:

good, the sample is biased (people who use a swimming pool might more inclined to favor building a new pool) so the sample might not lead to valid inferences

Vocaloid:

I'm not exactly sure what they're looking for here but since the variance is small compared to the mean, making predictions is valid/can be done? :S

Vocaloid:

the entire population of flying squirrels is too big to measure so a sample must be taken. if the sample is representative of the population (not biased), statistics about the sample can be used to draw conclusions about the population

let's try to visually estimate where the centers are for both graphs|dw:1523048935020:dw|

Vocaloid:

1. which one is more spread out? (has the bigger difference between the max/min values?) 2. which one has the higher median?

Nicole:

1. Box plot 1

Vocaloid:

good so you can say the box plot 1 has the higher spread since the box is wider and the range is higher

Nicole:

Box plot 1 has the higher median

Vocaloid:

keep in mind the median is this line in the middle:|dw:1523049523628:dw|

Vocaloid:

|dw:1523049528081:dw|

Vocaloid:

then again the question is only asking about spread so you might not need to mention the median

Nicole:

last oneL http://prntscr.com/j1xd1p

Vocaloid:

just gotta add up the values and divide by how many there are pay attention to the left column, for example, in the second row the values are 13, 15, 15, 15, 17, and 18, NOT 3,5,5,5,7,8

okay ty
