Solution Steps

Step 1: Identifying the five-number summary

The five-number summary for the west coast teams is already provided in the problem:

  • Lowest Value: 0.367
  • Lower Quartile: 0.416
  • Median: 0.520
  • Upper Quartile: 0.582
  • Highest Value: 0.583
Step 2: Choosing the correct boxplot

The correct boxplot will have the following features based on the five-number summary from Step 1:

  • The leftmost whisker starts at 0.367.
  • The left edge of the box is at 0.416.
  • The vertical line inside the box is at 0.520.
  • The right edge of the box is at 0.582.
  • The rightmost whisker ends at 0.583.

Boxplot A matches these values.

Step 3: Calculating the standard deviation

The standard deviations are provided in the problem:

  • East coast teams: 0.085
  • West coast teams: 0.089

Final Answer:

  1. Five-number summary: Lowest Value: 0.367, Lower Quartile: 0.416, Median: 0.520, Upper Quartile: 0.582, Highest Value: 0.583
  2. Correct Boxplot: A
  3. Standard Deviations: East coast: 0.085, West coast: 0.089
