Data Set A

a box plot 404040424242444444464646484848505050525252545454565656585858606060626262

Data Set B

a box plot 404040424242444444464646484848505050525252545454565656585858606060626262646464666666686868707070727272747474767676787878808080

Data set B has a greater than data set A, which means that more of the values in Data Set B are .

11.

If the box plots X and Y represent the results of two different classes on the same assessment, which class did better?

The two box plots below show the low temperatures for two cities in the United States. City D is the box plot on top, and City E is the box plot on the bottom. Use these box plots for problems 12 through 15.

12.

Which city would be considered the coldest, City D or City E? Why?

13.

Do these cities ever experience the same temperature? How do you know?

14.

Comparing the two sets of data, can you provide information about their shape, center, and spread?

15.

What advantage, if any, could a histogram of temperature data have over a box plot?
