Question

The box plots show the high temperatures in january and march for denmark in degrees fahrenheit. box plots titled average daily temperatures in denver in march and january with horizontal axis labeled temperature in degrees fahrenheit ranges from 45 to 80. march box plot with minimum approximately at 55 and maximum approximately at 75, its interquartile range is approximately between 60 and 70, and the median is between 60 and 65. january box plot is with minimum approximately 55 and maximum approximately at 70, its interquartile range is approximately between 57 and 65, and its median is approximately between 60 and 65. which can you tell about the mean temperatures for these two months?

Answer 1

From the information, the mean temperature for January is most likely lower than the mean temperature for March.

There are a couple of clues to this assumption. First, the max temp is lower for January. Second, the interquartile range is lower in March. With both of these factors, it is safe to assume the mean is lower.

Answer 2

The low median for January pulls the mean temperature below March's mean temperature. If just count the mean of both months it smake sense the most.
