An enhanced box and whisker diagram is recommended for visually representing mode, median, mean, and standard deviation. This type of graph can effectively display the central tendency and variability of the data. Including markers for mode, mean, and standard deviation on the box plot can provide a comprehensive overview of the dataset. The discussion emphasizes the importance of choosing a graphical method that aligns with course material. Overall, an enhanced box plot is a suitable choice for this data presentation.

Homework Statement


So i have collected the following data and it now asks me to present the information in an appropriate graphical form but I am not sure how.

mode – = 29 liters
Median – = 36
Mean – = 35.13
Range – = 17
Standard deviation = 4.87
Interquartile range = Q3 – Q1
= 9

Any help is greatly appreciated.

How to do it is probably dependent on what methods you have discussed in the course. Maybe something like an enhanced box and whisker diagram which additionally includes marks for the mode, mean, and standard deviation. See

for an example.

What is the distance between the tips at the moment when it is increasing most rapidly?(Putnam Exam Question) Answer: Making assumption that both the hands moves at constant angular velocities, the answer is ## \sqrt{7} .## But don't you think this assumption is somewhat doubtful and wrong?
