Question

you can measure the amount of overlap of two data sets by comparing the distance between the medians to the iqr. what is the difference in the medians? 4 minutes find the iqrs. iqr for free flyer: minutes iqr for steel thunder: ? minutes

Explanation:

Step1: Find the IQR for Free Flyer

The IQR (Inter - Quartile Range) is calculated as \(IQR = Q_{3}-Q_{1}\). For the Free Flyer box - plot, \(Q_{1}\) (the lower quartile) is at \(12\) and \(Q_{3}\) (the upper quartile) is at \(16\). So, \(IQR = 16 - 12\).
$$IQR=4$$

Step2: Find the IQR for Steel Thunder

For the Steel Thunder box - plot, \(Q_{1}\) (the lower quartile) is at \(14\) and \(Q_{3}\) (the upper quartile) is at \(18\). So, \(IQR = 18 - 14\).
$$IQR = 4$$

Answer:

IQR for Free Flyer: \(4\) minutes
IQR for Steel Thunder: \(4\) minutes
