ANYBODY WHO ANSWERS THIS WILL GET 60 POINTS. 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: two box plots shown. The top one is labeled Males. Minimum at 0, Q1 at 3, median at 10, Q3 at 15, maximum at 35. The bottom box plot is labeled Females. Minimum at 0, Q1 at 2, median at 6, Q3 at 9, maximum at 14
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.
D. The males have a suspected significant high outlier.
The outlier will make the box plot be uneven and this will affect the spread and the center.
I know isn't A, because if anything that would make it more balanced. I know it isn't B because this would not affect the spread or the center. I know it isn't C because the question is not asking you to determine the spread and center, just to see if there is anything that would affect them.
Direct Variation Use y=kx. Means “y varies directly with x.” k is called the constant of variation. “y varies inversely with x.” k is the constant of variation.
