A nice answer from the quiz

Note to self: since one data set is skewed, I will use the median and IQR:

The boys collected more candy than girls with a median of 62 compared to 45.5.

The boys were skewed left whereas the girls are fairly symmetrical.
(note: no comparison word really needed)

The boys have slightly more spread than the girls. The boys have an
IQR of 31 and a range of 65, while the girls have an IQR of 25 and a
range of 60.
