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:
Identify any values of data that might affect the statistical measures of spread and
center
A. The zero hour mark on both plots prevents the graphs from being balanced.
B. The median is near the center of the IQR for both males and females.
C. There is not enough evidence to see any effects on spread or center.
D. The males have a suspected significant high outlier.

Answer 1

The values of data that might affect the statistical measures of spread and center is that: D. The males have a suspected significant high outlier.

What is a box and whisker plot?

A boxplot is also referred to as box and whisker plot and it can be defined as a type of chart that can be used to graphically represent the five-number summary of a data set with respect to locality, skewness, and spread.

In Mathematics, the five-number summary of any box and whisker plot include the following:

• Minimum
• First quartile
• Median
• Third quartile
• Maximum

By critically observing the box and whisker plots which represent the number of hours the students worked in summer jobs, we can reasonably infer and logically deduce that male students have a significant high outlier because the maximum value (37) is very far from the third quartile (15).
