Question

Mr Davis has displayed data using box and whisker plots representing the scores on the first exam in his two calculus classes. Using these plots, what can Mr Davis correctly deduce about how the two classes compare?

Answer 1

Answer: The first and third choices are deductions that Mr. Davis can make from the data displayed.

Step-by-step explanation: The last choice is partly true. The highjest individual score was a student in third period, but most schools consider failing to be somewhere below 60 to 67%. There are several of scores below those numbers. The dots at the left end are "outliers."

The second choice may be true, but the data is about the scores on the test, not the number of students in the classes.
