Plot 1 goes from 0 to 8. There are 2 images above 5, 2 above 6, 4 above 7, and 5 above 8. Plot 2 goes from 0 to 8. there are 5 images above 1, 2 images above 2, 4 images above 3, 3 images above 4, 1 image above 5, 1 image above 6, and 1 image above 8.

Use visual clues to decide which plot has the highest measure. No calculations should be necessary, although you may use them to verify your answers.

To compare Plot 1 and Plot 2 based on visual clues and without detailed calculations, we can analyze the given data for each plot.

Highest Mean:

  • Plot 1: Given that there are more images distributed towards the higher values (5 images above 8, 4 above 7), we can infer that the mean is likely to be high.
  • Plot 2: The distribution is much more spread out towards lower values with only one image above 5, suggesting a lower mean.

Conclusion: Plot 1 has the highest mean.

Highest Median:

  • Plot 1: The presence of many images above the higher values (particularly 7 and 8) suggests that the median will fall in the upper range.
  • Plot 2: Most images are concentrated in lower values, with few above 5, indicating that the median will be lower.

Conclusion: Plot 1 has the highest median.

Highest Range:

  • Plot 1: The range is defined by its minimum (0) and maximum (8), giving a range of 8.
  • Plot 2: If it goes from 0 to 8 as well, the maximum is also 8 while the minimum remains 0. Therefore, the range is still 8.

Conclusion: Both plots have the same range, which is 8.

Highest Interquartile Range (IQR):

  • The interquartile range is influenced by the distribution of values in the upper and lower quartiles.
  • Plot 1: The higher number of images above 5 and 6 suggests a tighter grouping in the upper quartile.
  • Plot 2: Many images are concentrated lower (with values mostly concentrated below 4), suggesting a wider spread in the lower quartile.

Conclusion: Plot 1 likely has the highest interquartile range due to heavier concentration of values in the upper range.

Summary:

  • Highest Mean: Plot 1
  • Highest Median: Plot 1
  • Highest Range: Both (Range = 8)
  • Highest Interquartile Range: Plot 1
