5. Choosing a Data Display
Sign In
Which data display allows to see each data set's distribution and its five number summary?
Example Answer: A double box-and-whisker plot
Explanation: See solution.
We are asked which data display is appropriate for comparing students' grades (out of 100) in two different classes. Since a double box-and-whisker plot shows the variability of each data set, it will be an appropriate way to compare this quantitative data.
Please note that this is only one possible way to represent the given data — there are many other possible ways to do it.
