Hopefully you all did well on today's test! I'll try to get them all graded tonight!
Tonight, please create two boxplots--parallel boxplots are just two boxplots on the same axis, one above the other.
Given are 4th
grade boys and girls performances on an agility test; the test asks them to
jump from side to side across a set of parallel lines, counting the number of
lines they can clear in 60 seconds.
Create parallel boxplots (one
above the other) to compare the distributions of performances (number of lines
cleared) for boys and girls.
Boys: 22,17,18,29,22,22,23,24,23,17,21
Girls: 25,20,12,19,28,24,22,21,25,26,25,16,27,22
**I would recommend you put the "boys" in L1, "girls" in L2, and then create parallel boxplots on your calculator--just turn plot 1 on and set it to a boxplot for L1, then turn on plot 2 as well and create a boxplot for L2. Hit ZoomStat, and you'll see the graphs--then transfer them to your paper and show the work for the fences!** (See page 80 for calculator help--it uses this exact same data!)
See you all tomorrow!
