Question

the box plots show the weights, in pounds, of the dogs in two different animal shelters. weights of dogs in shelter a weights of dogs in shelter b which is true of the data in the box plots? select three choices. the median weight for shelter a is greater than that for shelter b. the median weight for shelter b is greater than that for shelter a. the data for shelter a are a symmetric data set. the data for shelter b are a symmetric data set.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify median in box - plot

The line inside the box represents the median. For shelter A, the median is around 20. For shelter B, the median is around 16. So the median weight for shelter A is greater than that for shelter B.

Step2: Check for symmetry

A symmetric data - set has the median in the middle of the box and the whiskers of equal length on both sides. For shelter A, the box is not evenly divided by the median and the whiskers are of unequal length. For shelter B, the box is evenly divided by the median and the whiskers are of equal length, so the data for shelter B are a symmetric data - set.

Answer:

The median weight for shelter A is greater than that for shelter B.
The data for shelter B are a symmetric data set.
