Question

based on the two data sets represented below, complete the following sentences. data set t data set u answer attempt 1 out of 2 the center of data set t is than the center of data set u. the spread of data set t is than the spread of data set u.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify center measure (median)

For box - and - whisker plots, the center is often represented by the median (the line inside the box). Visually, the median of Data Set T is around 30 and for Data Set U is around 29, so the center of Data Set T is greater.

Step2: Identify spread measure (IQR or range)

The spread can be measured by the inter - quartile range (IQR, length of the box) or the range (difference between maximum and minimum). The box of Data Set T is shorter than that of Data Set U, and also the overall range of Data Set T seems smaller. So the spread of Data Set T is less.

Answer:

The center of Data Set T is greater than the center of Data Set U. The spread of Data Set T is less than the spread of Data Set U.
