Comparing Distributions

In class students learned the various ways in which to compare distributions using the following:

                                              1) Histograms
                                              2) Back-to-Back Stemplots
                                             *3) Boxplots (2 or more distributions)

In class we spent time learning how to draw boxplots using the 5 number summary.  Students should be conscious of outliers (1.5 x IQR ± the quartiles) and extreme outliers (3 x IQR ± the quartiles).

The homework is listed below.  The notes and Investigative Task #3, due Wednesday 9/24, are attached.
