Organize data for yellow squash: First, let's organize the data for the yellow squash in ascending order: 6,8,8,10,12,14,16,18,20.
Find median for yellow squash: Now, let's find the median (the middle number) for the yellow squash: The median is the 5th number in the ordered list, which is 12 cm.
Organize data for green squash: Next, let's organize the data for the green squash in ascending order: 12,13,13,14,14,14,14,16,16.
Find median for green squash: Now, let's find the median for the green squash: The median is the 5th number in the ordered list, which is 14cm.
Compare medians: Comparing the medians, the green squash has a higher median length of 14cm compared to the yellow squash's median of 12cm.
Calculate IQR for yellow squash: To determine consistency, we need to look at the interquartile range (IQR) for each type of squash. The IQR is the range between the first quartile (Q1) and the third quartile (Q3).
Calculate IQR for green squash: For the yellow squash, Q1 is the median of the first half of the data, which is 8, and Q3 is the median of the second half of the data, which is 16. So, IQR=Q3−Q1=16−8=8 cm.
Compare consistency: For the green squash, Q1 is the median of the first half of the data, which is 13, and Q3 is the median of the second half of the data, which is 14. So, IQR=Q3−Q1=14−13=1cm.
Determine shorter squash: Since the IQR for the green squash is smaller than that of the yellow squash, we can infer that the green squash has a more consistent length.
Determine shorter squash: Since the IQR for the green squash is smaller than that of the yellow squash, we can infer that the green squash has a more consistent length.To determine which type of squash is generally shorter, we can compare the medians again or look at the overall spread of the data.
Determine shorter squash: Since the IQR for the green squash is smaller than that of the yellow squash, we can infer that the green squash has a more consistent length.To determine which type of squash is generally shorter, we can compare the medians again or look at the overall spread of the data.Since the median of the yellow squash is 12cm and the median of the green squash is 14cm, and considering the spread of the data, we can infer that the yellow squash is generally shorter.
