Question

the descriptive statistics are shown. the distribution is positively skewed. in a box and whisker plot, this would mean that the right whisker representing the higher values is longer than the left whisker. the median is closer to the left side of the box lower values and the mean complete which of the following did you include in your answer? check all of the boxes that apply. the data is skewed. the right whisker is long. the median is in the middle of the box. the left whisker is short. done compare the measures. describe what these measures indicate about the shape of the box - and - whisker plot.

Explanation:

• The data is skewed: As stated, the distribution is positively skewed.
• The right whisker is long: In a positively - skewed box - and - whisker plot, the right whisker (representing higher values) is longer.
• The left whisker is short: Since the right whisker is long in a positively - skewed plot, relatively, the left whisker is short.
• The median is not in the middle of the box: In a positively - skewed box - and - whisker plot, the median is closer to the left side of the box (lower values), so this option is incorrect.

Answer:

The data is skewed, The right whisker is long, The left whisker is short.
