If the line is close to the center ofthe box and the whisker lengths are the same then sample is from a symmetricpopulation. If the top whisker is much longer than the bottom whisker and the lineis gravitating towards the bottom of the box, then sample is from populationwhich is skewed to the right. While, ifthe bottom whisker is much longer than thetop whisker and the line is rising to the top of the box, then sample is frompopulation which is skewed to the left.Here,Box plotB.has alargepositive skew.And,Box plotC.has alargenegative skew.6.You recorded thetime in seconds it took for 8 participants to solve a puzzle. These timesappear below. However, when the data was entered into the statistical program, the scorethat was supposed to be 22.1 was entered as 21.2.You had calculated the following measures of central tendency:the mean, the median,and the mean trimmed 25%.Which of these measures of central tendency will changewhen you correct the recording error?
