The table below shows the number of students from different classes of two schools who participated in a group dance:


School A	24	21	23	22	22	21	20	23	22
School B	5	3	2	5	20	12	3	4	3


Part A: How can you use box plots to compare the median and interquartile range of the data? Write the minimum value, first quartile, median, third quartile, and interquartile range for the two sets of data. 

Part B: Are the box plots symmetrical in shape? Justify your answer

Take your time :D

anonymous · Answer

Oh, okay. I usually get median and mean mixed up so I googled the definition lol. Okay, so 22 for School A, and 20 for School B

anonymous · Answer

What I don't understand though is how to read box plots. Its really confusing in my opinion. I even went over the lesson twice and couldn't understand it :/

Check your median for school B again

and while you do that I'll try and help with that!
