Question:

State SAT scores. We want to compare the distributions of average SAT Math and Verbal scores for the states and the District of Columbia. We enter these data into a computer with the names SATM for Math scores and SATV for Verbal scores. Here is output from the statistical software package Minitab.
(Other software produces similar output. Some software uses rules for finding the quartiles that differ slightly from ours. So software may not give exactly the answer you would get by hand.)
Variable N Mean Median StDev Minimum Maximum Q1 Q3 SATV 51 535.39 527.00 33.85 487.00 594.00 501.00 565.00 SATM 51 536.76 528.00 33.88 476.00 602.00 510.00 557.00 Use this output to make boxplots of SAT Math and Verbal scores for the states.

Briefly compare the two distributions in words.
