12.  I can:  create a box and whiskers plot given a data set  answer questions about a situation using a box and whiskers plot  compare box and whiskers plots and draw statistical conclusions  use the graphing calculator to make a box and whiskers plot Day 4: Objectives

13.  Brad and Tom are comparing their classes' scores on a math test. Both of their classes had mean scores of 80 on the test, but Brad's class had a range of 6 while Tom's class had a range of 30. If the highest possible score was 100, which class had the LOWEST score in it?  Which Statement would be true?  Brad's class had the lowest score in it.  Tom's class had the lowest score in it.  The lowest score occurred in both classes.  It cannot be determined from the information.  How do you know you are right?

14.  Median (Q2)- The “middle” of the data  Upper Quartile (Q3)- The “middle” of the upper half of the data  Lower Quartile (Q1)-The “middle” of the lower half of the data  What can you learn from a Box and Whisker Plot? Creating Box and Whisker Plots
