The box plots show the distributions of weights of cucumbers and zucchini collected from a garden. Which statement explains the best measure of variability to use to compare the data sets?
Answer
A
The mean is the best measure because the data sets have the same minimum weight.
B
The range is the best measure because the distribution of zucchini weights is skewed left.
C
The median is the best measure because the data sets have different medians.
D
The standard deviation is the best measure because both data distributions are symmetric.
