Question

consider the box plots, which represent the number of students enrolled in each class offered at two different high schools.
which statement is true?
high school 1s data is skewed right, and high school 2s data is normally distributed.
high school 1s data is skewed left, and high school 2s data is normally distributed.

Explanation:

1. For High School 1: In a box - plot, if the left whisker is longer than the right whisker (or the median is closer to the upper quartile), the data is skewed left. From the box - plot of High School 1, we can observe this characteristic, so its data is skewed left.
2. For High School 2: A normal distribution (or approximately normal) in a box - plot is characterized by the median being in the middle of the box, and the whiskers being relatively symmetric in length. The box - plot of High School 2 shows this symmetric pattern, so its data is normally distributed.

Answer:

High School 1’s data is skewed left, and High School 2’s data is normally distributed.
