Box plots and comparing data
infoWhy this? Box plots show medians, quartiles, and spread in a compact visual form, making differences between datasets easier to identify. They support balanced comparisons that consider both typical values and variability rather than relying on a single summary.
scheduleWhy now? Knowledge of averages and dispersion now allows us to interpret the numerical summaries represented in a box plot, while cumulative frequency work supports estimating quartiles. Comparing datasets consolidates these ideas before attention shifts to relationships between variables.
