3. Scientists measured how many days had rain each month for three different cities. For example, in Miami, the first month had 6 days of rain, the next month had 5 days of rain, and so on. These box plots show the results: a) Fill in the blanks to describe the shape of each box plot. (3 points: 1 point for each blank)

Miami: _

Seattle: _

Las Vegas: _

b) Fill in the blanks to compare the centers of the three box plots. (4 points: 1 point for each blank)

Better measure of center to use: _

Center for Miami: 7.5 days

Center for Seattle: _ days

Center for Las Vegas: _ days

Which city had the largest typical number of days of rain each month? _

c) Find and compare the spreads of the three-box plots. (3 points: 1 point for each blank)

Better measure of spread to use: _

Spread for Miami: 8.5 days

Spread for Seattle: _ days

Spread for Las Vegas: 2 days
