1) First obtain the boxplots of speed for the three designs. Compare the shapes of the three boxplots obtained in part (a). Are they symmetric or skewed? If the latter, which way? Are there any outliers? The box plot for seal is wider than the box plot for orca and penguin, they have uneven size The box plot for seal is much lower compared to orca and penguin. Orca is slightly higher and penguin is the highest graph Seal and penguin box plots have an outlier. Seal box and whisker is rightly skewed as most of the values lie to the right of the graph( positive skew) Orca is symmetrical and is not skewed Penguin box and whisker is skewed to the left as most of the values lie to the right of the box and whisker ( negative skew) (c) Use the boxplots to compare the centers (median) and spreads (IQR) of the three distributions. For the seal box and whisker the median is slightly below the average 50 percent range because the median is denoted by the line dividing the box and the line falls below that. So it means the average is at around 40- 50 percent. For the first quartile the lower is whisker is short which means Q1 is low. Q3 which is the upper quartile has its upper whisker being the longest so IQR= q3-q1 should have a decent spread, estimate= q1= 55 q3= 65= 5.5-1.5= 4 For the orca box and whisker the median is exactly 50 as the line falls right at the center. Spread is q3- q1 and q3= 5-1.7= 3.3
For the penguin box and whisker the median is slightly below 50 percent of values that give the speeds The upper whisker q3 is low while the lower whisker q1 is high which means that q3- q1= negative spread = q3= 2.4- ( 62-56.2) = -3.4 or abs value spread is 3.4 d) Are the conclusions for (b) and (c) consistent with the analysis from Question 2? Yes as the skewness matches each of the designs, seal is positively skewed orca is symmetrical and penguin is negatively skewed. And the question about when right skewed mean> median and when left skewed median> mean matches as well
