This question just ask us to explain how to tell the shape of a box plot using the whiskers and the median.
00:13
So i've drawn an example of three different shapes just so that it'll help us think about what we're writing down as we're describing how to tell.
00:24
So let's let's start by describing the shape of these three.
00:28
This would be skewed left.
00:38
This would be approximately symmetric, and this would be skewed to the right.
00:49
So what we're looking at, when we're thinking about the median, so if a distribution, if the box plot is symmetric, let's start there, the median will be in the middle of the box.
01:30
And the whiskers will be about the same length.
01:50
Okay.
01:50
So let's think about that.
01:51
So here's our median in the middle, and then our whiskers are about the same length.
01:57
If it's skewed left, think about what happens.
02:02
If when it's skewed left, this whisker, the left whisker is longer.
02:09
And notice the left half of the box is longer as well...
