Which statement describes the symmetry of the data in the two box plots?

The data in country A are more symmetric than the data in country B.

The data in country B are more symmetric than the data in country A.

The data in both countries have about the same symmetry.

The symmetry of the data cannot be determined by looking at the box plots.

Answer :

Answer:

The data in country B are more symmetric than the data in country A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The following information is missing:

The box plots show the average wind speeds, in miles per hour, for various cities in two different countries. Average Wind Speeds of Cities in Country A 2 box plots. The number line goes from 1 to 11. For the average wind speeds of cities in country A, the whiskers range from 1 to 9.5, and the box ranges from 3 to 7. A line divides the box at 4. For the average wind speeds of cities in country B, the whiskers range from 1.2 to 11, and the box ranges from 4 to 9. A line divides the box at 6. Average Wind Speeds of Cities in Country B

Country A

  • minimum: 1
  • quartile 1: 3
  • median: 4
  • quartile 3: 7
  • maximum: 9.5

Country B

  • minimum: 1.2
  • quartile 1: 4
  • median: 6
  • quartile 3: 9
  • maximum: 11

We can see that the difference between quartile 1 and minimum, median and quartile 1, quartile 3 and median, and maximum and quartile 3 is more homogeneous in Country B than Country A, then Country B is more symmetric.

Answer:the data in country B are more symmetric than the data in country A.
