108, 140, 114, 91, 180, 115, 126, 92, 169, 146,
109, 132, 75, 88, 113, 151, 70, 115, 187, 104
For the above two data sets
a)Find the five-number summaries.
b)Make a side –by-side box plots of the distribution
c)Find the mean and standard deviation for the two groups.
d)Compare the distribution of the SSHA scores for male and female college students.

Solution
All the calclations have been done using R.
(a) Use summary function in R to get the 5-point summary.
(b)
1 is the boxplot of X and 2 is the boxplot of Y
(c)
(d)
We can compare the distribution of X and Y by either using the boxplot or the mean and standard deviation values.
The data for X is more dispersed compared to Y but the average of X is less compared to Y.
| X | Y | |
| Min | 70.0 | 101.0 |
| 1st Qua | 101.0 | 126.0 |
| Median | 114.5 | 138.0 |
| Mean | 121.2 | 140.9 |
| 3rd Qua | 141.5 | 154.0 |
| Max | 187.0 | 200.0 |
