Concept used:
MINITAB is used.
Calculation:
The procedure for box-plot is, choose graph then box-plot, under the multiple Y’s choose simple and click ok.
In graph variables, enter the data of PM, OC, TC and LE and click ok.
The Box-plot is shown below.

- AP1.1 You look at real estate ads for houses in Sarasota, Florida. Many houses range from $200,000 to $400,000 in price. The few houses on the water, however, have prices up to $15 million. Which of the following statements best describes the distribution of home prices in Sarasota? The distribution is most likely skewed to the left, and the mean is greater than the median. The distribution is most likely skewed to the left, and the mean is less than the median. The distribution is roughly symmetric with a few high outliers, and the mean is approximately equal to the median. The distribution is most likely skewed to the right, and the mean is greater than the median. The distribution is most likely skewed to the right, and the mean is less than the median.arrow_forwardDuring busy political seasons, many opinion polls are conducted.
