2. Companies considering purchasing ads during televised XFL football games are interested in the viewership of games as a way of estimating the exposure their ads get. The file xfl_stacked contains a sample of viewership numbers for XFL games televised on Friday and Saturday nights, respectively.
(a)

Construct box and whisker charts on the same chart that compare the viewership distribution of Friday night XFL games to the viewership distribution of Saturday night XFL games.

Chart (i)The box and whisker charts are titled “Viewership of Televised XFL Games” and have a vertical axis labeled “Viewers (1,000s)” with values from 0 to 7,000. The box and whisker charts are also vertical.The box and whisker chart labeled “Friday Night” occurs first. The bottom whisker is at approximately 110, the bottom edge of the box is at approximately 1,640, the line inside the box is at approximately 2,320, the top edge of the box is at approximately 3,030, and the top whisker is at approximately 5,030. There is 1 visible outlier located at approximately 5,610. A square is placed at approximately 2,360.The box and whisker chart labeled “Saturday Night” occurs next. The bottom whisker is at approximately 1,130, the bottom edge of the box is at approximately 1,800, the line inside the box is at approximately 2,240, the top edge of the box is at approximately 3,530, and the top whisker is at approximately 5,910. There is 1 visible outlier located at approximately 6,400. A square is placed at approximately 2,690.
