Question 16 — Goal 5 — Boxplot Construction (5 pts total) Scoring Key
a) Construct a correct boxplot on the number line. (2 pts)
The student boxplot must have:
• A box extending from \(16.5\) (\(Q_1\)) to \(28.5\) (\(Q_3\)). [1 pt]
• Whiskers extending from the box down to \(12\) (Min) and up to \(33\) (Max). [1 pt]
b) Clearly label the median line inside your boxplot. (1 pt)
• A vertical line must be drawn inside the box at the value of \(21\) and labeled as “Median” or “M”. [1 pt]
c) Calculate the Interquartile Range (IQR). (2 pts)
IQR = \(Q_3 - Q_1 = 28.5 - 16.5 = 12\)
[1 pt for correct setup \(28.5 - 16.5\), 1 pt for correct answer of 12]
Question 17 — Goal 6 — Outliers with 1.5 × IQR Rule (5 pts total) Scoring Key
a) Find the values of \(Q_1\) and \(Q_3\). (1 pt)
Lower half: 5, 8, 9, 10 → \(Q_1 = (8 + 9) / 2 = 8.5\)
Upper half: 11, 12, 14, 34 → \(Q_3 = (12 + 14) / 2 = 13\)
[1 pt for both correct quartiles: \(Q_1 = 8.5\) and \(Q_3 = 13\)]
b) Calculate the IQR and the Upper Fence. (2 pts)
\(IQR = Q_3 - Q_1 = 13 - 8.5 = 4.5\)
Upper Fence = \(Q_3 + 1.5(IQR) = 13 + 1.5(4.5) = 13 + 6.75 = 19.75\)
[1 pt correct IQR of 4.5, 1 pt correct upper fence of 19.75]
c) Is 34 an outlier? Explain using the upper fence. (2 pts)
Yes, 34 is an outlier.
Explanation: Since the age of 34 is greater than the upper fence value of 19.75 (\(34 > 19.75\)), it is mathematically classified as an outlier.
[1 pt correct “Yes”, 1 pt correct mathematical comparison to 19.75]

Q31 — Summer Books Boxplot Key Goal 5
a) Construct Boxplot: (2 pts)
• Box drawn from \(16.5\) (\(Q_1\)) to \(28.5\) (\(Q_3\)). [1 pt]
• Whiskers from \(12\) (Min) to \(16.5\); from \(28.5\) to \(33\) (Max). [1 pt]
b) Median Label: (1 pt)
Vertical line labeled inside box at the value of \(21\). [1 pt]
c) Calculate IQR: (2 pts)
\(IQR = Q_3 - Q_1 = 28.5 - 16.5 = 12\)
[1 pt setup, 1 pt answer 12]
Q32 — Shelter Dogs Outlier Key (5 pts total) Goal 6
a) Find \(Q_1\) and \(Q_3\): (1 pt)
Lower: 5, 8, 9, 10 → \(Q_1 = (8+9)/2 = 8.5\)
Upper: 11, 12, 14, 34 → \(Q_3 = (12+14)/2 = 13\)
[1 pt for both correct quartiles]
b) Calculate IQR & Fence: (2 pts)
\(IQR = 13 - 8.5 = 4.5\)
Upper Fence = \(13 + 1.5(4.5) = 19.75\)
[1 pt IQR, 1 pt Upper Fence]
c) Outlier decision & why: (2 pts)
Yes, 34 is an outlier. Since \(34 > 19.75\), the score value is outside the fence limits.
[1 pt Yes, 1 pt comparison work]

Question 33 — Goals 7 & 8 — SD and Skewness Analysis Key (5 pts total) Scoring Key
a) Which machine is more consistent? Explain: (2 pts)
Machine A is more consistent because it has a smaller standard deviation (0.1 oz vs 0.5 oz for Machine B), which means the bag weights vary much less and are closer to the 8 oz target.
[1 pt Machine A, 1 pt clear reasoning using smaller standard deviation]
b) What does SD measure? (1 pt)
Accept any statement showing it measures the typical or average distance of values from the mean. [1 pt]
c) Find and justify skewness shape: (2 pts)
Skewed left.
Justification: Since the Mean (72) is less than the Median (85), the mean is pulled down by a low tail or outliers.
[1 pt skewed left, 1 pt correct mean vs median justification]
Question 34 — Goals 10 & 11 — Jamal & Diego Z-Score Key (5 pts total) Scoring Key
a) Calculate Jamal's z-score: (2 pts)
\(z_J = \frac{70 - 66}{2.5}\)
\(z_J = \frac{4}{2.5} = 1.6\)
[1 pt correct setup, 1 pt correct answer 1.6]
b) Calculate Diego's z-score: (2 pts)
\(z_D = \frac{74 - 69}{3}\)
\(z_D = \frac{5}{3} \approx 1.67\)
[1 pt correct setup, 1 pt correct answer 1.67]
c) Who is relatively taller and why? (1 pt)
Diego is relatively taller because his z-score (1.67) is higher than Jamal's z-score (1.6), indicating Diego is further above his peer group's mean in terms of standard deviations. [1 pt]
