Question

the two box plots show the data of the pitches thrown by two pitchers throughout the season. which statement is correct? check all that apply. picher 1 has a symmetric data set. picher 1 does not have a symmetric data set. picher 2 has a symmetric data set. picher 2 does not have a symmetric data set. picher 2 has the greater variation.

Explanation:

In a symmetric box - plot, the median is in the middle of the box and the whiskers are approximately the same length on both sides. For Pitcher 1, the box and whiskers are not symmetrically distributed. For Pitcher 2, the box and whiskers are more symmetrically arranged. Also, the length of the box - plot (inter - quartile range) and the length of the whiskers for Pitcher 2 are larger, indicating greater variation.

Answer:

Pitcher 1 does not have a symmetric data set.
Pitcher 2 has a symmetric data set.
Pitcher 2 has the greater variation.
