Box plot and stem and leaf plot

Explain the shape in the context of the problem! For example, consider a distribution of grades which is skewed to the right and has a median score of 70. Do not write "The distribution is skewed to the right." Instead write "Many students had scores close to 70, but a few students scored much higher."

Write up with Context

The box in a boxplot represents the interquartile range and gives the interval which contains 50% of the observations. 25% of the observations are less than the first quartile, and 25% of the observations are greater than the third quartile.

at a school field day, 50 students and 50 faculty members each completed an obstacle course.

Descriptive statistics for the completion times (in minutes) for the two groups are shown below:

Use the same scale to draw boxplots for the completion times for students and for faculty members.

(b)  Write a few sentences comparing the variability of the two distributions.

(c)  You have been asked to report on this event for the school newspaper. Write a few sentences describing student and faculty performances in this competition for the paper.

Task

Five hundred randomly selected middle-aged men and five hundred randomly selected young adult men were rated on a scale from 1 to lO on their physical flexibility, with 10 being the most flexible. Their ratings appear in the frequency table below. For example, 17 middle-aged men had a flexibility rating of 1

TASK

Display these data graphically so that the flexibility of middle-aged men and young adult men can be easily compared.

Based on an examination of your graphical display, write a few sentences comparing the flexibility of middle-aged men with the flexibility of young adult men
