Instructions
A new
migraine medication is in development, and the developers are curious to see
the impact it has on Men v Women. The medication was given to 13 Men and 13
Women, and the participants were asked to identify how long it took for them
(in minutes) to feel initial relief from their migraine. The results are
provided below:
Men –
3,8,15,32,21,45,78,73,72,85,23,35,45
Women
– 3,9,2,15,27,32,35,54,45,37,24,27,31
For
each group individually, find the five number summary, as well as the mean and
sample standard deviation. Using the boxplot calculator (link below), produce
side-by-side boxplots of Men v Women.

the values above into the correct cells in the calculator. Do not add any
spaces.
Discussion
Prompts
Answer the following questions in your initial post:
1.
Report
your five-number summary, mean, and sample standard deviation. Do not forget,
we are looking at a sample set here, so we need to use the sample standard
deviation.
2.
Describe
how the summary statistics for the group of Men compare to the summary
statistics for the group of Women
3.
Post
your created side-by-side boxplots. From the visual, what can we say on an
objective level about the two groups?
