Question

the box plots show the distributions of the numbers of words per line in an essay printed in two different fonts. number of words per line font 1 font 2 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 28 which measure of center would be best to compare the data - sets? the median is the best measure because both distributions are left - skewed the mean is the best measure because both distributions are left - skewed the median is the best measure because both distributions are left - skewed the mean is the best measure because both distributions are symmetric. the mean is the best measure because both distributions are symmetric.

Explanation:

When data is skewed (left - skewed here), the median is less affected by extreme values than the mean. So, it is a better measure of center for comparing the data sets.

Answer:

The median is the best measure because both distributions are left - skewed.
