The following table shows the number of hours some high school students in two states spend surfing the Internet each week:
State A 35 36 35 34 35 38 36 36 38
State B 24 22 20 50 25 24 65 25 26
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)
State A Mean: 35.88 min=34 q1=35 Med=36 Q3=37 Max=38 State A has a symmetrical box plot. State B Mean: 31.22 Min=20 Q1=23 Med=25 Q3=38 Max=63 State B is not symmetrical. I know this because of how far away Q1 and Q3 are from the median, and how far the Min and Max are from Q1 + Q3.
