Data analysis is the systematic application of statistical and/or logical tools to explain and show, condense and recap, and appraise data.

Make boxplots for both data sets. An $X$ is used to represent outliers. The boxplot's whiskers are at their smallest and largest values. The box has a vertical line at the median and starts at the first quartile and finishes at the third quartile. The first quartile accounts for $25\%$ of the sorted data list, the median for $50\%$, and the third quartile for $75\%$. The upper boxplot contains college women, whereas the bottom boxplot has college men.

Because the median for women is substantially higher than the median for men, the idea that women have superior study habits and attitudes toward learning than males is validated. The provided data support that Women have better study attitudes and habits toward learning then male.
