Compare and contrast the distributions of domestic load factor and international load factor.

Explanation of Solution
The data represents the histogram and summary statistics for the load factors of domestic and international commercial airlines for every month from 2000 through 2011.
Interpretation:
Interpretation of the histogram of domestic load factor:
From the given histograms for the domestic load factor, the observed points are:
- The histogram consists of only one largest bar, this indicates that the distribution of domestic load factor is unimodal.
- The histogram shows that the length of the curve of the left hand tail is larger compared to the length of the curve of the right hand tail, this says that the shape of the distribution is skewed to left.
Interpretation of the histogram of international load factor:
From the given histograms for the international load factor, the observed points are:
- The histogram consists of only one largest bar, this indicates that the distribution of international load factor is unimodal.
- The histogram shows that the length of the curve of the left hand tail is larger compared to the length of the curve of the right hand tail, this says that the shape of the distribution is skewed to left.
Interpretation of the summary statistics of domestic and international load factors:
The
Comparison and contrast:
- The distributions of both the data sets of domestic and international load factors are unimodal with left skewed.
- The distributions of international load factor may contain low outliers due to less variability.
- Median is an appropriate measure of centre tendency, here the medians for both the distributions are close to each other which says that the distributions of domestic load factor and international load factor are almost similar.
- Inter quartile range is an appropriate measure for the spread of the distribution, the IQR of domestic load factor is high which indicates that the variability is more in the domestic load factors than international load factors.

What is the p-value associated with that test statistic? Give the most appropriate conclusion in context There is not evidence to reject the claim that undergraduates sleep the less than graduate students. There is evidence to support the claim that undergraduates sleep less than graduate students. We accept the claim that undergraduates sleep less than graduate students.
