Question
I have provided the box plot below, please only answer the highlighted questions

Transcribed Image Text:### Box Plot Analysis of Vehicle Types
This box plot visually represents the distribution of a specific variable (not specified) across six different vehicle types: Minivan, Hatchback, Wagon, Sporty, Sedan, and SUV. Each box plot consists of a box and two whiskers, illustrating the range and distribution of the data for each category.
#### Components of the Box Plot:
- **Box:** Represents the interquartile range (IQR), which contains the middle 50% of the data. The edges of the box are the first quartile (Q1) and the third quartile (Q3).
- **Whiskers:** Extend from the edges of the box to the smallest and largest values within 1.5*IQR from the quartiles.
- **Median Line:** A line inside the box denotes the median (Q2) of the data.
- **Outliers:** Points beyond the whiskers which are considered outliers.
#### Detailed Breakdown by Vehicle Type:
1. **Minivan:**
- **Median:** Slightly above 7.0
- **IQR:** Narrow, signifying a small spread in the data.
- **Range:** Approximately between 7.0 and 7.5, indicating minimal variability.
2. **Hatchback:**
- **Median:** Around 8.0
- **IQR:** Data is spread from approximately 7.0 to 8.5.
- **Range:** Extends from about 6.0 to 9.5, showing a moderate spread.
3. **Wagon:**
- **Median:** Close to 8.0
- **IQR:** Narrower, spanning roughly from 7.0 to 8.0.
- **Range:** Falls between about 6.5 and 8.5.
4. **Sporty:**
- **Median:** Approximately 8.0
- **IQR:** Spreads from roughly 6.8 to 8.2.
- **Range:** Stretches from about 6.3 to 8.7, indicating some variability.
5. **Sedan:**
- **Median:** Significantly higher at around 9.5
- **IQR:** Broad, from near 8.0 to 10.0, suggesting considerable spread.
- **Range:** From approximately 7

Transcribed Image Text:### Vehicle Acceleration by Type: Educational Exercise
#### Introduction
This exercise uses the dataset "Cars2020," which contains detailed information about new car models in the year 2020. The goal is to analyze vehicle acceleration by car type using statistical methods.
#### Instructions
1. **Data Preparation**:
- Upload the "Cars2020" dataset.
- Use the Statkey software to generate side-by-side boxplots comparing acceleration times to 60 mph (variable: Acc60) across different vehicle types (variable: Type).
2. **Tasks**:
- Include a screenshot of the generated boxplots in your report.
- These variables (Acc60 and Type) are not in the dropdown menu in Statkey, so you'll need to manually input them.
3. **Analysis Questions**:
a. **Association Analysis**:
- Does there appear to be an association between car type and acceleration time?
- Provide a description of how the generated boxplots support your answer.
b. **Acceleration Extremes**:
- Identify the type of car with the highest acceleration time.
- Identify the type of car with the lowest acceleration time.
c. **Outlier Identification**:
- Using the boxplot, identify all outliers.
- Document the values of these outliers and indicate the car type they correspond to.
d. **Variability Analysis**:
- Determine which vehicle type has the lowest variability in acceleration time.
#### Explanation of Boxplots
1. **Boxplot Components**:
- **Median**: Line inside the box showing the middle value of the data.
- **Quartiles**: The box itself, representing the interquartile range (IQR) which contains the middle 50% of the data.
- **Whiskers**: Lines extending from the box to the smallest and largest values within 1.5 * IQR from the quartiles.
- **Outliers**: Points beyond the whiskers, representing data points significantly different from the others.
2. **Interpreting Side-by-Side Boxplots**:
- Use side-by-side boxplots to easily compare distributions across different car types.
- Look at the spread, center (median), and outliers to make inferences about group similarities and differences.
#### Example
- **Screenshot of Boxplots** (Include your screenshot here)
- **Analysis**:
- Describe the associations

- Darnell and Jake are playing a game they made up which includes throwing darts at this target. The point values for each region of the target are shown. The radius of the 50-point region is 3 inches. The width of each of the other regions is 4 inches. 5 concentric circles where each circle contains values from 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50. Darnell and Jake are currently tied in their game, and Jake has to choose one of these options: Option 1: He can accept the tie, and the game is over. Option 2: He can make one more throw. Jake wins if he earns at least 30 points on the throw, but he loses if he earns less than 30 points. Complete each part of this task to determine which option Jake should choose. Part A Describe the process you could use to find the probability that Jake will earn at least 30 points on a throw, given that he hits the target?
