Question

Two English classes with the same number of students took a final exam.the box and whisker plots below (sometimes called boxplots) summarize the best test scores for each class. use the box and whisker plots to answer the questions.

Answer 1

Using the image above we can compare and contrast for both classes

We trace the information to the number line

Part A

When we trace the median of both classes we have

Class A=82

Class B= 75

Class A is higher(has a bigger median)

Part B

We trace the maximum and minimum for both classes and subtract them to get the range.

For class A

Max=88 and Min=64

Hence, the range for Class A =24

For class B

Max=81 and Min= 68

Hence, the range for Class B = 17

Class B is smaller(has a smaller range)

Part C

We trace the maximum for both classes

Class A=88

Class B =81

Class A is the highest(has a higher test score.)

Part D

We check the size of the interquartile range in class A and class B

If we check the image, Class A is the Largest(Has a larger interquartile range)
