The following boxplot represents data giving the number of words in twenty-two sentences from a book by a certain author, known as Author A. Author A 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 Sentence length (words) (Note that the table of summary values has not been included in the boxplot as this question is assessing your understanding of the shape of the boxplot.) Choose the one option from the list below that is true. Select one: The range is smaller than the interquartile range. The median is greater than the upper quartile. The median is closer to the minimum than the maximum. The median is lower than the lower quartile.

A boxplot of some data is given below. Based on this boxplot, which of the following are valid conclusions about the data? Select one: Data are left-skew; mean is less than the median Data are left-skew; mean is more than the median Data are left-skew; mean is about the same as the median Data are right-skew; mean is less than the median Data are right-skew; mean is more than the median Data are right-skew; mean is about the same as the median Data are roughly symmetric; mean is less than the median Data are roughly symmetric; mean is more than the median Data are roughly symmetric; mean is about the same as the median

SMALL BOXPLOT What is the shape of the small boxplot? Assume that there are no outliers. left-skewed Which set of summary statistics is correct for the small boxplot? Median=60, IQR=40, Range The data in the small boxplot is least concentrated between the min and Q1. The data in the small boxplot is most concentrated between Q3 and the max.
