  • Choose one answer.
(a) parent population
(b) sample
(c) raw scores
(d) sampling distribution of the mean
(e) sampling distribution of the variance


Problem 2

There is a compay in which a very small minority of males (3%) receive three times the median salary of males, and a very small minority of females (3%) receive one-third of the median salary of females. What do you expect the side-by-side boxplot of male and female salaries to look like?

  • Choose one answer.
(a) Both boxplots will be skewed and the median line will not be in the middle of any of the boxes.
(b) Both boxplots will be skewed, in the case of the females the median line will be close to the top of the box and in the case of the males the median line will be closer to the bottom of the box.
(c) Need to have the actual data to compare the shape of the boxplots.
(d) Both boxplots will be skewed, in the case of males the median line will be close to the top of the box and for the females the median line will be closer to the bottom of the box.
