The biggest key here is identifying outliers. Outliers can pull measures of center either up or down drastically.

Notice how the males have a VERY low outlier. This will pull the mean down severely and create a much larger range, or spread.

The females have a median of about 12 hours, but have an upper extreme of 19, which compareatively is very high. This creates a larger range as well.

The average hours worked per week is greater for males than for females.

What is box plot?

'A boxplot is a standardized way of displaying the distribution of data based on a five number summary (“minimum”, first quartile (Q1), median, third quartile (Q3), and “maximum”). It can tell you about your outliers and what their values are.'

According to the given problem,

The spread for males for the number of hours worked per week is greater than the spread for females.

Q1 for males = 20

Q3 for males = 45

Q1 for females = 5

Q3 for females = 10

Hence, we can conclude, we can see from the above data that the spread for the male number of hours worked per week is greater than the hours female worked.
