Chapter 2: Chance & Data Exercise 2: Data Representation & Analysis

1) The top ten test batting averages in history are:

99.94, 60.97, 60.83, 60.73, 59.23, 58.67, 58.61, 58.45, 57.78, 57.02

a) Construct a box and whisker plot of the data

b) Predict if the mean will be higher or lower than the median and justify your
answer

c) Calculate the mean and standard deviation

Is the range, inter-quartile range or standard deviation a more realistic measure of


the spread of the data in this case? Justify your answer

2) The following data shows the score (in points) of the winning AFL football teams
over three weeks

61, 63, 72, 75, 80, 84, 84, 86, 90, 96, 97, 102, 105, 105, 106, 107, 108, 110, 111, 115,
120, 122, 125, 130

a) Draw a box-and-whisker plot marking the 5 relevant points

b) What is the inter-quartile range?

c) What is the median score?

d) Comment on the spread of the data

3) The box and whisker plot below shows the distribution of students’ maths test
scores
