7. A new drug study was conducted by a drug company. In the study, 10 people were chosen at random to take Vitamin X for 3 months and then have their cholesterol levels checked. In addition, 10 different people were randomly chosen to take Vitamin Y for 3 months and then have their cholesterol levels checked. All 20 people had cholesterol levels between 8 and 10 before taking one of the vitamins. The drug company wanted to see which of the 2 vitamins had the greatest impact on lowering people's cholesterol. The following data was collected: Vitamin X 7.27.55.2 6.5 7.7 10 6.4 7.6 7.77.8 Vitamin Y 4.8 4.4 4.5 5.1 6.5 8.0 3.14.6 5.2 6.1 (a) Draw a box-and-whisker plot for both sets of data on the same number line. (b) Use the double box-and-whisker plots to compare the 2 vitamins and provide a conclusion for the drug company. (c) State the skewness of both distributions and justify your answer. 7.
