Question

Data was collected in a college classroom and students were asked their height in inches, as well as where they prefer to sit (F = Front, B = Back, M = Middle). The boxplot below shows the heights of students who responded they prefer to sit in the Front or Back. Which of the following statements can we infer given the chart? A student who is 68 inches tall would be taller than at least 75% of students who prefer the front, but may still be considered shorter than average for students who prefer to sit in the back. The shortest person in the class likes to sit in the front, and the tallest person in the class likes to sit in the back. Those who sit in the front tend to be taller than those who sit in the back. The number of students taller than 68 inches is higher for the group of students who prefer to sit in the front and lower for the group of students who prefer to sit in the back.
