    The above Parallel Box & Whisker Plots shows the rainfall of two cities over a period of 50 days. Which city had the highest inter-quartile range?

    • Melbourne

    • Sydney

    • Neither

    Correct Answer
    A. Sydney
    Explanation
    The inter-quartile range (IQR) is a measure of the spread or dispersion of a dataset. It represents the range between the first quartile (Q1) and the third quartile (Q3). In the given box and whisker plots, the box represents the IQR. Comparing the boxes of Melbourne and Sydney, it is evident that the box for Sydney is larger, indicating a greater IQR. Therefore, Sydney had the highest inter-quartile range.

    The box plot above shows the 100m times for two groups. Which group has the most consistent times? - ProProfs

    The box plot above shows the 100m times for two groups. Which group has the most consistent times?

    Correct Answer
    girls
    Explanation
    The box plot above shows the 100m times for two groups, with the girls' group having the most consistent times. This can be determined by looking at the width and length of the box plot for each group. The girls' box plot appears to be narrower and shorter, indicating that the range of times for the girls is smaller and there is less variation in their performances compared to the other group.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 
    Based on the bar chat above, which feature helps prove that girls times are more consistent than boys times. - ProProfs

    Based on the bar chat above, which feature helps prove that girls times are more consistent than boys times.

    • Spread

    • Centre

    • Neither

    • Both

    Correct Answer
    A. Spread
    Explanation
    The spread refers to the range of values in a dataset. In this case, if the spread of girls' times is smaller compared to the spread of boys' times, it indicates that the girls' times are more consistent. A smaller spread suggests that the girls' times are closer together and less variable, while a larger spread for boys' times implies more variability and inconsistency in their performances. Therefore, the feature of spread helps prove that girls' times are more consistent than boys' times.

    Based on the bar chart above, which feature helps prove Brisbane has higher temperatures than Sydney? - ProProfs

    Based on the bar chart above, which feature helps prove Brisbane has higher temperatures than Sydney?

    • Q3

    • Range

    • Centre

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Q3
    Explanation
    The Q3, also known as the third quartile, represents the upper boundary of the data distribution. In this case, if Brisbane has a higher Q3 value compared to Sydney, it means that the top 25% of temperatures in Brisbane are higher than the top 25% of temperatures in Sydney. Therefore, Q3 is a feature that helps prove Brisbane has higher temperatures than Sydney.
