2. Does Mrs. R’s class data include outliers? Explain your reasoning.  If Mrs. R’s class data contains outliers, redraw your box plot to show which values are outliers. 

 

 

 

 

2. Do the outliers in Mr. K’s class data have more of an effect on the median or the mean?  Explain.

1.  2. How does the location of the median in a box plot provide information about its shape? 

 

 

 

3. How would you describe the shape of Mr. K’s class data? 

 

 

 

4. How would you describe the shape of Mrs. R’s class data? 

 

 

5. How does the shape of each distribution help you compare the two classes?
