Question

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!

The following table shows the number of hours some students in two universities spend reading each week:


School A 7 2 3 10 17 14 10 22 2
School B 9 10 16 18 20 15 17 18 14


Part A: Create a five-number summary and calculate the interquartile range for the two sets of data. (6 points)

Part B: Are the box plots symmetric? Justify your answer. (4 points)

Answer 1

For school A: 2, 2, 3, 7, 10,10,14, 17, 22
School A : 2,2,3,7,10,10,14,17,22
Part A: (2 + 3) / 2 = 5/2 = 2.5
The Median is 10
(14 + 17) / 2 = 31/2 = 15.5
The IQR Is Q3 - Q1 = 15.5 - 2.5 = 13

For School B: Nope, not symmetrical. The space between the medians should be the same number.

Hope this Helps. I can explain more if you have an comments.
