Compare the shapes of the box plots.



O A . Both distributions are negatively skewed.
O B. The Wolverines' distribution is negatively skewed, but the
Panthers' distribution is symmetric.
O C. Both distributions are symmetric.
OD. The Wolverines' distribution is positively skewed, but the Panthers'
distribution is symmetric.

Answer :

The correct option is B. The Wolverines' distribution is negatively skewed, but the Panthers' distribution is symmetric.

When is data symmetric for a given box plot?

Data is symmetric if the median is in the mid of the box plot and the box is mid to the line connecting both whiskers.

The box plot showing scores for the Panthers basketball team has the median shown by a vertical line dividing the box into 2 equal halves.

Also, both whiskers on either side are relatively equal which shows that the data set for bulldogs is symmetric.

On the other side, the box plot for wolverine shows the median closer to the upper quartile.

That shows that the data set for team Wolverines' distribution is negatively skewed.

The correct option is B. The Wolverines' distribution is negatively skewed, but the Panthers' distribution is symmetric.
