Data from previous question

In a survey of introductory statistics students, an instructor asked students to report how many hours they had spent studying in a typical week during the last term and their sex. The data appears in the 6.1.15 dotplot. Describe what the graph tells us about any similarities and differences between men and women when it comes to how much time they report spending studying every week. Be sure to compare and contrast the shape, center, and spread for study hours€™ distributions for males and females.
