The following table shows the number of hours some high school students in two towns spend riding the bus each week: town a 5 3 9 4 20 9 5 7 6 town b 8 8 3 5 5 6 3 9 9 part a: create a five-number summary and calculate the interquartile range for the two sets of data. (6 points) part b: are the box plots symmetric? justify your answer.

Hey there again,

The first step is to put the data in order, as shown in the diagram below

Five summaries of Town A

Lowest Value = 10

Lower Quartile,  = 16.5 (The value falls between 16 and 17)

Median,  = 25

Upper Quartile,  = 40 (The middle value between 38 and 42)

Highest value = 42

Five summaries of Town B

Lowest value = 0

Lower Quartile,  = 4 (The middle value between 0 and 8)

Median,  = 9

Upper Quartile,  = 20 (The middle value between 19 and 21)

Highest Value = 30
