Interpret differences in shape, center, spread, and outliers in context.
Compare centers of two distributions in context
Problem
In the context of run times, compare the centers of the \(\text{two}\) distributions: group A median \(42~\text{minutes}\), group B median \(35~\text{minutes}\).
Big Picture
What this problem is really about
A center comparison should connect a numerical difference to what the measured quantity means. Subtract the smaller median from the larger one to get the distance between typical values, then use the units and context to interpret which group typically has the longer duration.
