The following data show the prices of different types of outfits at a store: $2, $2, $28, $26, $25, $27, $25, $27, $26, $28, $30 which statement is correct about the box plot for the above data? the box plot will have its right tail longer than the left tail because a few exceptionally low prices make the distribution skewed to the right. the box plot will have its right tail longer than the left tail because a few exceptionally low prices make the distribution skewed to the left. the box plot will have its left tail longer than the right tail because a few exceptionally low prices make the distribution skewed to the left. the box plot will have its left tail longer than the right tail because a few exceptionally low prices make the distribution skewed to the right.

The box plot will have its left tail longer than the right tail becuase a few exceptionally low prices make the distribution skewed to the left.                                              

Step-by-step explanation:

As seen in the attached file, the box plot has its left tail longer than the right tail because of the exceptionally low prices that is :$2

Firstly arranging the data in increasing order:

$2,$2,$25,$25,$26,$26,$27,$27,$28,$28,$30

Median of the data = 26 (since there are odd numbers)

Lower quartile (Q1) = 25

Upper quartile (Q2) = 26

By plotting the box plot we conclude that the left tail is longer than the right tail.

d. 24+-0.114

step-by-step explanation:

the question requires us to calculate the approximate 95% confidence interval for the mean number of ounces of ketchup per bottle in the sample given the following statistics;

sample mean = 24

standard deviation, σ = 0.4

sample size , n = 49

the confidence interval for a population mean is calculated using the formula;

sample mean ± z-score*(σ/sqrt(n))

the z-score associated with a 95% confidence interval, from the standard normal tables, is;

1.96

substituting these values into the formula;

24 ± 1.96*(0.4/7)

= 24 ± 0.112

from the alternatives given, choice d is closest to the above expression;
