Question

Male and female high school students reported how many hours they worked each week in summer jobs. The data is represented in the following box plots:

two box plots shown. The top one is labeled Males. Minimum at 0, Q1 at 3, median at 10, Q3 at 15, maximum at 35. The bottom box plot is labeled Females. Minimum at 0, Q1 at 2, median at 6, Q3 at 9, maximum at 14

Identify any values of data that might affect the statistical measures of spread and center. (2 points)

Group of answer choices

The zero hour mark on both plots prevents the graphs from being balanced.

The median is near the center of the IQR for both males and females.

There is not enough evidence to see any effects on spread or center.

The males have a suspected significant high outlier.

Answer 1

So to solve this it might be helpful making a drawing. Do you think you could draw the 2 box plots?

Answer 2

If you are going to leave like that @hsuhhhf, what is the point of asking the question?

Answer 3

The answer is option D or "The males have a suspected significant high outlier." According to the information you provided above will make the plot boxes uneven thats because the numbers are much higher then the females numbers. It wouldn't be option A because it's not balanced, wouldn't be B because it doesn't have nothing to do with the spread, and its not option C because looking at the question it isn't asking you to determine the spread so the best answer is D. Hope this helps.
