Shown Below Are the Boxplot,the Histogram and Summary Statistics for the Highest

question 41

Multiple Choice

Shown below are the boxplot,the histogram and summary statistics for the highest temperatures ever recorded (in °F) in 32 different states in the U.S.A.

Write a few sentences describing the distribution.

• A)The distribution is bimodal,symmetric with a mean of 114.2°F.There is a high outlier that should be investigated.The standard deviation is 7.7°F.The boxplot shows that half of the time,the highest temperatures were between about 107.5°F and 114°F.
• B)The distribution is unimodal,symmetric enough with a mean of 114.2°F.There is a high outlier that should be investigated,but it does not influence the mean very much.The standard deviation is 7.7°F.The boxplot shows that half of the time,the highest temperatures were between about 107.5°F and 118°F.
• C)The distribution is bimodal,essentially symmetric with a mean of 114.2°F.There is a high outlier that should be investigated,but it does not influence the mean very much.The standard deviation is 7.7°F.The boxplot shows that half of the time,the highest temperature were between about 107.5°F and 118°F.
• D)The distribution is unimodal,essentially symmetric with a mean of 114.2°F.There is a high outlier that should be investigated,because it influences the mean.The standard deviation is 7.7°F.The boxplot shows that half of the time,the highest temperatures were between about 107.5°F and 114°F.
• E)The distribution is unimodal,essentially symmetric with a mean of 114.2°F.There is a high outlier that should be investigated,but it does not influence the mean very much.The standard deviation is 7.7°F.The boxplot shows that half of the time,the highest temperatures were between about 107.5°F and 114°F.
