Question

3.) the following boxplots summarize data on the amount of fat (in grams) in 12 - mcdonalds beef or chicken or fish sandwiches. choose one. shape: the distribution of amount of fat is for beef sandwiches and is for chicken or fish sandwiches. outliers: there are in the chicken or fish sandwiches fat content distribution. are two outliers is one outlier are no outliers the fat content distribution for the beef sandwiches are two outliers is one outlier are no outliers center: chicken or fish sandwiches at mcdonalds tend to have fat.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze box - plot shape for beef

The box - plot for beef sandwiches has the median closer to the lower quartile, so the distribution of the amount of fat in beef sandwiches is skewed right.

Step2: Analyze box - plot shape for chicken/fish

The box - plot for chicken or fish sandwiches is fairly symmetric as the median is in the middle of the box and the whiskers are approximately equal in length on both sides.

Step3: Identify outliers for chicken/fish

There are two points outside the whiskers of the chicken or fish box - plot, so there are two outliers in the chicken or fish sandwiches fat content distribution.

Step4: Identify outliers for beef

There are no points outside the whiskers of the beef box - plot, so there are no outliers in the beef sandwiches fat content distribution.

Step5: Compare centers

The box - plot for chicken or fish sandwiches is located at a lower value on the fat axis compared to the beef sandwiches box - plot, so chicken or fish sandwiches tend to have less fat.

Answer:

Shape: skewed right for beef sandwiches and is fairly symmetric for chicken or fish sandwiches.
Outliers: are two outliers in the chicken or fish sandwiches fat content distribution and are no outliers in the beef sandwiches fat content distribution.
Center: less
