6 marks

YTSS is testing two AI systems, System A and System B, tracking their response times (in seconds) to student queries.

The response times for System A are shown below:

System A

Key: \(4\mid2\) represents 42 seconds.

    1. Find the median response time for System A.[1]
    2. Find the standard deviation of the response times for System A.[1]

The following information is shown for System B:

System B

  • Minimum = 35
  • Lower Quartile = 40
  • Median = 48
  • Upper Quartile = 55
  • Maximum = 70
  1. Construct a box-and-whisker plot for System B using the data provided.[1]
  2. One student claims:
    “System A is more consistent, but System B is faster.”
    State whether you agree with this claim. Justify your answer using statistical measures.[3]
