Question

comparing statistics visually
plot 1
use visual clues to decide which plot has the highest measure. no calculations should be necessary, although you may use them to verify your answers.
highest mean:
highest median:
highest range:
highest interquartile ranges:
plot 1
plot 2
each has the same interquartile range.

Explanation:

For the mean, in Plot 1, the data is more concentrated on higher - value numbers compared to Plot 2. For the median, since the number of data points is the same in both plots and Plot 1 has more larger - valued data points in the middle when ordered, it likely has a higher median. For the range, in Plot 1, the data ranges from 5 to 8, a range of 3. In Plot 2, the data ranges from 1 to 8, a range of 7. For the inter - quartile range, visually, the spread of the middle 50% of the data seems similar in both plots.

Answer:

Highest mean: Plot 1
Highest median: Plot 1
Highest range: Plot 2
Highest interquartile ranges: Each has the same interquartile range
