Question

Use the box plots comparing the number of males and number of females attending the latest superhero movie each day for a month to answer the questions.

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, and a point at 31.

Part A: Estimate the IQR for the males' data. (2 points)

Part B: Estimate the difference between the median values of each data set. (2 points)

Part C: Describe the distribution of the data and if the mean or median would be a better measure of center for each. (4 points)

Part D: Provide a possible reason for the outlier in the data set. (2 points)
PLEASE HELP ME!!! IVE BEEN AVOIDING THIS FOR SO LONG

Answer 1

(a) The IQR for the males' data is 12, because Q3 is at 15 and Q1 is at 3.

(b) The difference between the median values of each data set is 4 because 10-6 = 4

(c) For the males' data, the median would be a better measure of center, since the data is skewed right. For the females' data, the mean would be a better measure of center, because the data is pretty balanced (except for the outlier).

(d) Maybe a superhero movie had their opening night one day of this month, which would explain the outlier.
