Male and female high school students reported how many hours they worked each week in summer jobs. the data is represented in the following box plots: identify any values of data that might affect the statistical measures of spread and center. the females worked less than the males, and the female median is close to q1. there is a high data value that causes the data set to be asymmetrical for the males. there are significant outliers at the high ends of both the males and the females. both graphs have the required quartiles.

Due to the larger range of males , I believe the answer is There is a high data value that causes the data set to be asymmetrical for the males.
