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 skewed right. high school 1s data is skewed left, and high school 2s data is skewed right. high school 1s data is normally distributed, and high school 2s data is skewed right.

Explanation:

1. For High School 1: In a box - plot, if the tail on the right side (higher values) is longer, the data is skewed right. Looking at High School 1's box - plot, the right whisker (the line extending from the box to the maximum value) is longer than the left whisker, indicating a right - skewed distribution.
2. For High School 2: A normal distribution has a symmetric box - plot, where the median is in the middle of the box, and the whiskers are approximately equal in length. High School 2's box - plot appears symmetric, so its data is normally distributed.

Answer:

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