Who do we want on our Team??
The Math Department Golf Team has been practicing all season
and is looking forward to the upcoming HRSB golf championship. The
team is made up of 2 members and one alternate. Each of the three
golfers have been working hard to secure a place on the team rather
than sitting on the sidelines as an alternate.
It is now time to decide who will represent the math department
in the championship. Each of the three golfers have played 18 rounds of
golf and have submitted their scores to you, the coach, to select the two
who will carry the Math Department flag in the upcoming tournament.
The following are the three golfers and their scores:
Anne M.– 78 85 88 90 80 86 95 95 94 91 97 96 90 94 92 96 96 94
Susan - 97 97 92 91 90 90 90 97 97 135 91 85 96 94 91 85 86 85
Sonya – 87 86 86 97 89 85 84 83 88 87 86 85 94 83 89 88 98 99
Your Mission:
1] Using your knowledge of Data displays (box & whisker plots) and
graphing calculator technology, list each golfer from least to worst.
2] For your top 2 golfers, give two reasons why they were chosen
3] What other factors, not shown by the box plots, might you consider
when choosing the top 2 golfers?
