Respuesta :

A symmetrical data distribution has a boxplot with the median dividing the box into two equal parts. As we can see, the median (45) does not divide the box into two equal parts.

A skewed data distribution, on the other hand, divides the box into one shorter and one longer part. As we can see, this is the case for the boxplot shown in this problem.

Also, if the data had a peak at 90, the median would be closer to this peak.

Actually, 90 is called an outlier, since it is distant from the rest of the data. Remember that half of the data is located below the median, and 75% of the data is located below the third quartile (60), so 90 is distant from most of the data.

Now, for the
