The following are the ratings of men by women in an experiment involving speed dating. Use the given data to construct a boxplot and identify the​ 5-number summary.  1.0   1.0   2.0   2.5   3.5   3.5   4.0   4.0   4.0   4.0   4.0   5.0   6.0   6.0   6.0   6.0   7.0   7.0   8.0   9.0 The 5-number summary is [b1], [b2], [b3], [b4], [b5].  (Use ascending order.  Type integers or decimals.  Do not round.) Which of the following boxplots best represents the data.  Type the letter to the answer in the box.  [b6]  

Which of the accompanying normal quantile plots appear to represent data from a population having a normal​ distribution? Explain. [box1] [box2] [box3] [box4]

Listed below are amounts​ (in millions of​ dollars) collected from parking meters by a security service company and other companies during similar time periods. Do the limited data listed here show evidence of stealing by the security service​ company’s employees? Security Service Company: 1.4   1.7   1.6   1.5   1.5   1.6   1.7   1.5   1.5   1.8     Other Companies: 1.7 1.9 1.6 1.8 1.7 1.8 1.6 1.7 1.8 1.7 Find the coefficient of variation for each of the two​ samples, then compare the variation. The coefficient of variation for the amount collected by the security service company is [ans1]%.  (Round to one decimal place as​ needed.) The coefficient of variation for the amount collected by the other companies is [ans2]%.  (Round to one decimal place as​ needed.) Do the limited data listed here show evidence of stealing by the security service​ company’s employees? Consider a difference of greater than​ 1% to be significant. Fill in your choice here [ans3] A. Yes. There is a significant difference in the variation. B. No. There is a not significant difference in the variation. C. Yes. There is a not significant difference in the variation. D. No. There is a significant difference in the variation.
