00:01 All right.

00:01 So here we have some box plots.

00:04 And these box plots are, they show the number of calories on 20 brands of hot dogs that are beef, meat hot dogs, and poultry hot dogs.

00:21 So there we go.

00:23 And we are given some choices.

00:26 And let's kind of go through them.

00:28 It says this plot shows that all poultry hot dogs have fewer calories.

00:33 The median for beef and mean will no because look here's poultry all of them have less no that's not true because like here's this this whisker here that show which is about 25 % of all the poultry dogs which have more than some of the beef and meat hot dogs so that's not it about half the poultry dogs have have fewer calories than the median for beef and meat hot dogs about half you know, i'd say no.

01:13 I'd say a little bit more actually because look, here's the median for beef and meat.

01:17 And here's 75 % up to this.

01:21 This quartile is 75%.

01:23 So there's well, there's over 75 % that have less or fewer calories than beef and meat than the median for beef and meat.

01:36 Hot dog type is not helpful in predicting calories.

01:39 No, this is pretty true.

01:41 Like we just said, 75 % of poultry hot dogs have fewer calories than the median of beef and meat.

01:51 So that's not true.

01:53 Let's see.

01:54 Most poultry hot dog brands have fewer calories than most beef and meat hot dogs.

02:00 But a few poultry hot dogs have more calories than the median beef and meat hot dogs...
