Question

1. when comparing two box plots that show the same type of information, what determines agreement within the data? the mean of each data set the number of values in each data set the median of each data set the range of the quartiles in each data set

Explanation:

Box - plots (or box - and - whisker plots) are used to display the distribution of data. The range of the quartiles (inter - quartile range, IQR) gives an indication of the spread of the middle 50% of the data. When comparing two box - plots of the same type of information, a smaller inter - quartile range (range of the quartiles) indicates that the data is more concentrated (less spread out), which can be related to a higher degree of agreement within the data. The mean is affected by outliers and may not be a good measure of central tendency for skewed data. The number of values does not directly relate to agreement within the data. The median only gives the middle value and does not account for the spread of the data around the median.

Answer:

the range of the quartiles in each data set
