(a) Contrast the shapes of the data sets displayed in the box-and-whisker plots in Question 1. Explain what the difference in the shapes means in context of the situation.

(b) Compare the spread of the data sets. Discuss both the overall spread and the spread within the

boxes.

(c) Use an appropriate measure of central tendency to compare the center of the data sets. Explain what

the difference in those measures means in context of the situation.

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

A.)

Differentiating based on the shape of the box and whisker plot.

The first plot, named shrella depicts a skewed distribution, (negative skew) highlighted by the long whisker (tail) to the left with the median also shifting towatds to the right of the box away from the box center. This could mean that the time difference between the coins aren't even and older coins seem to exhibit a larger time gap than newer coins.

The second plot however. VENITA, depicts a distribution which could be described as normal, as the whiskers are aodt of equal length and the median centered in the middle of the box. This could mean that Venita's coins are evenly spread out based time.

B.)

As for the overall spread, Shrella's plot covers a wider range, hence (larger spread) than Venita's plot. Thanks to the long whiskers in Shrella's plot.

For the spread within the boxes, Venita's plot has a larger within box spread than Shrella. With Venita's plot has a wider box tham Shrella's box plot.

C)

The appropriate measure of centre to be used is the median which is denoted by the vertical line in between the box. Shrella's plot has a median value of about 68 while Venita's has a median value of 60. The median value are still s bit close or similar.

the answer is b.

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

to determine whether a given function is even, we simply substitute x with -x in the expression. if the result after simplification is identical to the original equation, then the function is said to be even other wise odd.

f(-x) = (-x)^2 - (-x) + 8

      = x^2 + x +8

the resulting function is not identical to the original one;

f(-x) ≠ f(x)

therefore, f(x) is not an even function
