A local business owner was interested in knowing the coffee-shop

1.2: Displaying Quantitative Data

1. Here are the quiz grades for an AP Statistics class. Make a

dotplot. Then describe the center, shape, spread, and any
possible outliers.

98 75 42 94 88 86 70 77 90 85
2. Here is a back to back stemplot showing the scores of
elementary school students on an end of year test. Complete the
sentences comparing the scores for boys with the scores for
girls.

Both distributions are approximately (symmetric/skewed

right/skewed left).
The scores for boys have a (higher/lower) median than the
scores for girls. The median score for boys is ________ and the
median score for girls is ________. The range for boys is
(larger/smaller) than the range for girls. The range for boys is
from __________ to ___________ and the range for girls is from
__________ to _____________.
Potential outlier(s) for boys are at:
