The following data set shows the total number of people entering an exhibit per day: 163, 157, 166, 159, 160, 184, 162, 175, 177
, 164, 171, 170, 173, 176, 173, 178, 158, 163, 164, 169, 171, 160, 165, 182 Which intervals for the data values would be most appropriate for a frequency table?
Box Plot has less variability in the data. We can determine this by the distances between the beginning of the data to the end (range) and the distances between lower quartile and the upper quartile (interquartile range).
Box #1 Range - 30 IQR - 15
Box #2 Range - approximately 23 IQR - approximately 9
Box #2 has less variation in the data because the distances between these 2 ranges are smaller meaning the data is closer together.
