Question

The box plots below show the average daily temperatures in April and October for a U.S. city:

What can you tell about the means for these two months?

The mean for April is higher than October's mean.
There is no way of telling what the means are.
The low median for October pulls its mean below April's mean.
The high range for October pulls its mean above April's mean.

Answer 1

A mean in math is the average of a data set, found by adding all numbers together and then dividing the sum of the numbers by the number of numbers. For example, with the data set: 8, 9, 5, 6, 7, the mean is 7, as 8 + 9 + 5 + 6 + 7 = 35, 35/5 = 7. So, assuming that's the type of "Mean" your talking about, there is no way of telling what the means are seeing as the picture only shows the averages.
