Data were gathered from two groups and displayed in the stacked box plots.

Two horizontal box plots are labeled Data Set A and Data Set B. Data Set A shows first vertical segment at 3 and second segment at 5 and the third at 9 and the fourth at 13 and the last at 15 with an x placed at approximately 8.8. Data Set B shows first vertical segment at 2 and second segment at 7 and the third at 10 and the fourth at 12 and the last at 15 with an x placed at approximately 9.

Compare the appropriate measures of center and variability for the two sets of data.

Data Set A has a lower mean value of 8.8, and Data Set B has a greater range value of 13.
Data Set A has a higher median value of 9, and Data Set B has a greater IQR value of 5.
Data Set A has a lower median value of 9, and Data Set B has a lower IQR value of 5.
Data Set A has a higher mean value of 8.8, and Data Set B has a lower range of value of 13.

Thank you

Midnight97 · Answer

So.. a box plot is a standardized way of displaying the distribution of data based on a five-number summary: minimum, first quartile (Q1), median, third quartile (Q3), and maximum, as you can see in our box plot above

Well dang-

Midnight97 · Answer

As a reminder:
- The median is the middle value when a data set is ordered from least to greatest
- The range is the difference between the maximum and minimum data values.
- The interquartile range (IQR) is the difference between Q3 and Q1 and represents the middle 50% of the data.
- The "x" in the box plot typically represents the mean, which is the average of all data points

Right, that makes sense.

Midnight97 · Answer

So looking at the two plots... which one has a higher median?
It's going to be the line in the middle of the box and whichever one is further to the right will be considered higher so which data set has the line in the box that's further to the right. Soo...

So...would it be C then? Since that talks about the median and IQR?

Yea, but I am still working on it lol

Phantomdex · Answer

So C it is then

Midnight97 · Answer

Data set A's line lines up with 9
Data set B's line line up with 10

Midnight97 · Answer

So that means Data Set B has a higher median value of 10 another way to put that is that Data Set A has a lower median value of 9
another way to put that is that Data Set A has a lower median value of 9
which would be option C :)

Midnight97 · Answer

I made sure it was C

Phantomdex · Answer

Right and because its skewed it can't be range so it'd have to be IQR!
