Course
MATH 145 (Elementary Statistics)
Description
A calculator program randomly generates data and forms a boxplot. Students are then asked
to construct a data set consisting of seven, eight, or nine data values that would produce
the given boxplot. This module helps students gain a deeper understanding of how data values
affect the Five-Number Summary and boxplots. Further discussions on comparing the mean and
median, interpreting boxplots, skewness, and quartiles can be initiated.
Transferability
This module will transfer to any introductory level statistics class, as well as any other
class that involves data analysis such as college algebra.
