A teacher promised a movie day to the class that did better, on average, on their test. The box plot shows the results of the test:

box plot labeled 2nd period with min at 77, Q1 at 78, median at 89, Q3 at 92, max at 100. Box plot labeled 4th period with min at 72, Q1 at 82.5, median at 89, Q3 at 96, max at 97.5

Which class should get the reward, and why?

Know the Answer?

Keyla Mcgee · Answer 1

I say it is C. Basically I just eliminate the potential answered down. A could not be the one since not all student in 2nd period got 100% and average students got below 95%. B cannot be it since both box plot have the same median. I do not think D is it because of how the answer is told. "The 4th period class should get the reward. Their lowest score is an outlier, and should be thrown out," it sound childish and makeing a joke to put "and should be thrown out." I may be wrong but that is my opinion. The relatively the best and reasonable answer is C.
