Q:

The box and whisker plot represents the scores made by two different classes on the same test. By comparing the length of the boxes for the classes, which inference, if any, can you make about the variability of the scores?A) No inference can be made about variability based on the length of the boxes. B) Since the box representing second period scores is about half the length of the box for fourth period, the variability is the same for both periods. C) Since the box representing second period scores is shorter than the box for fourth period, there is less variability in the scores for second period. D) Since the box representing second period scores is shorter than the box for fourth period, there is more variability in the scores for second period.

Accepted Solution

A:
The inference to be made depends on the nature of the scatter of points on the plot.What is a scatter plot?A scatter plot is one of the ways in which data is presented. The data is plotted along two axes, X and Y. The variability of the data is seen from the nature of the scatter of points in the plot.The question is incomplete because the scatter plot is not shown. However, the inference to be made depends on the nature of the scatter of points on the plot.Learn more about scatter plot:
