In a 2012 survey, 636 male paid employees and 537 female paid employees were asked how many hours they worked in the last week. (Those who said, "I don't know" or "I don't work" were not included in the data set.) Compare the distributions of hours of work for the men and women.

Compare the distributions of hours of work for the men and women.
A.
The women have a larger spread. That is, their data go from about 0 to about 85 where the data for men go from about 0 to about 70.
B.
The men have a larger spread. That is, their data go from about 0 to about 210 where the data for women go from about 0 to about 230.
C.
The women have a larger spread. That is, their data go from about 0 to about 210 where the data for men go from about 0 to about 225.
D.
The men have a larger spread. That is, their data go from about 0 to about 90 where the data for women go from about 0 to about 80.
E.
The men and women have an equal amount of spread. Their data is spread out equally across each graph.
Which group seemed to work more overtime? (Note that overtime is more than 40 hours)
A.
Women seemed to work more overtime hours since the histogram is right-skewed due to the outlier at about 80 hours.
B.
Women seemed to work more overtime hours since their bins to the right of 40 hours are taller than those for men.
C.
Men seemed to work more overtime hours since their bins to the right of 40 hours are taller than those for women.
D.
The groups seemed to work the same amount of overtime since they both have bins which are further right than 40 hours.
