Answer 1

Using the given box and whisker plot, it is found that the mean most likely exceeds the median for Elaine, hence option B is correct.

What does a box and whisker plot shows?

A box and whisker plot shows three things:

• The 25th percentile, which is the median of the bottom 50%.

• The median.

• The 75th percentile, which is the median of the upper 50%.

In this problem:

• The plot for Sarah is right-skewed, due to the proximity of the 25th percentile and the median. In a right skewed plot, the mean is less than the median.

• For Elaine, it is left-skewed, due to the proximity of the median to the 75th percentile. In a left skewed plot, the mean exceeds the median.

The mean most likely exceeds the median for Elaine, hence option B is correct.
