Identify any values of data that might affect the statistical measures of spread and center.

1.The females worked more than the males, and the female Q3 equals the top of the range.
2.The spread and center are skewed due to the fourth quartile missing with the females.
3.There is a significant outlier at the low end for the females.
4.The males have a high outlier, and the females have a low outlier

The statements that are correct are #1 because the top 3 sections of the box plot are all above where the males are. There is no whisker on the right for females, so this tells us the 3rd quartile is the same as the upper extreme.

#3 is also correct because the whisker on the left of the female box plot is very far away from the 1st quartile (beginning of the box) indicating there is an outlier.

#4 the males have a high outlier because of the opposite reasoning for #3.
