question 7

Multiple Choice

Assume you obtained a MINITAB output and a boxplot of differences between the number of fish at a depth of 5 meters and 10 meters. ​ ​ ​ Choose the correct statement. ​

• A) The boxplot of differences is approximately symmetric and does not show any outliers, so the assumption of normality is not unreasonable and we will use the paired t test.
• B) The boxplot of differences is approximately symmetric, but has outliers, so the assumption of normality is not unreasonable and we will use the paired t test.
• C) The boxplot of differences is approximately symmetric, but has outliers, so the assumption of normality is unreasonable and we cannot use the paired t test.
• D) The boxplot of differences is approximately symmetric and does not show any outliers, so the assumption of normality is not unreasonable and we cannot use the paired t test.
