Math Comparison: Time Spent on Homework

1. How was the data similar?
They both had outliers. The data for both blocks were skewed to the right. One more similarity these data sets had is that they both have the same maximum. The maximum for F and B block is 180.

2. What was different in the 2 sets of data? 
The median for F block was higher than the median of B block. Also, the minimum and maximum were different for both data sets.

3. Were there any outliers?
Yes, there were more outliers in B block than in F block. The outliers are the dots on the graphs.

4. Which class spends longer on their homework? PROVE IT!

F block spends more homework than B block because first of all, the median for F block is 80 while the median for B block is 60. Secondly, although the maximum for both graphs are 180, the whisker for F block is higher which means that there is data in that area. Finally, the box in F block is higher than the box for B block this means the data is for F block is more higher.
