4.3) •VA report from Texas Transportation Institute
(Texas A&M University System 2005) on Congestion Re-
duction Strategies looked into the extra travel time (due to
traffic congestion) for commute travel per traveler per year
in hours for different urban areas. Below are the data for
urban areas that had a population of over 3 million for the
year 2002.

4. Compute the mean and median values for extra travel
hours. Based on the values of the mean and median, is the
distribution of extra travel hours likely to be approximately
symmetric, positively skewed, or negatively skewed?

If you are constructing a box plot, what is the value that is at the lower end of the "box?"
Consider the women's 100-yd dash (and the subsequent 100-m dash) in the Olympics since records have been kept. Determine the best way to combine all data and depict the data.
Choose the correct answer below.
O A. A stem and leaf plot would be the best way to show all of the data grouped by race times.
O B. A line graph would be the best way to show all of the data over time, but some measurements would have to be converted to display the 100-yd and 100-m on the same graph.
OC. Ahistogram would show all of the data by comparing each year. The units of distance would not matter.
O D. A scatterplot would show the relationship between the 100-yd dash and the 100-m dash.

How to create a box-and-whisker plot: To draw a box-and-whisker plot you need five pieces of information, called the five-number summary: the smallest value, the lower quartile (LQ), the median, the upper quartile (U0) and the largest value. An outlier is a value that is much smaller or much larger than the other values. An outlier is a point less than the LQ-1.5x 1QR or greater than the UQ+1.5xIQR.arrow_forward
