Transcript text: Determine the distribution of the data pictured below Uniform Bell-shaped Skewed-right Skewed-left
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Observe the Box Plot
The box plot visually represents the distribution of the data. The "box" itself shows the interquartile range (IQR), which contains the middle 50% of the data. The line inside the box represents the median. The "whiskers" extend to the minimum and maximum values within 1.5 times the IQR from the box. Values outside this range are outliers and plotted as individual points.
Step 2: Analyze the Shape
In this box plot, the median is closer to the left side of the box, and the right whisker is longer than the left whisker. This indicates that the data is spread out more to the right.
