(a) What is the median of variable x?
The median of variable x is
(Round to the nearest integer
needed.)
(b) What is the third quartile of variable y?
The third quartile of variable y is. (Round to the nearest integer as needed.)
(c) Which variable has more dispersion? Why?
O A. Variable y-the interquartile range of variable y is larger than that of variable x.
O B. Variable x-the interquartile range of variable x is larger than that of variable y.
OC. Variable x-the range of variable y is smaller than that of variable x.
O D. Variable y-the range of variable x is smaller than that of variable y.
OE. Both dispersions are equal.
(d) Describe the shape of the variable x. Support your position. Choose the correct answer below.
O A. Skewed left-the median is left of center in the box and the left whisker is longer than the right whisker.
