Please Help! :)



The following table shows the number of hours some high school students in two states spend surfing the Internet each week:


State A 35 36 35 34 35 38 36 36 38

State B 24 22 20 50 25 24 65 25 26

Part A: Create a five-number summary and calculate the interquartile range for the two sets of data. (6 points)

Part B: Are the box plots symmetric? Justify your answer. (4 points)

State A
Mean: 35.88
min=34
q1=35
Med=36
Q3=37
Max=38
State A has a symmetrical box plot.

State B
Mean: 31.22
Min=20
Q1=23
Med=25
Q3=38
Max=63
State B is not symmetrical.

I know this because of how far away Q1 and Q3 are from the median, and how far the Min and Max are from Q1 + Q3.
