also i think katie is right about the mean thing, cuz if u look at the mcq for q15 2013 HSC, it's calculated in a similar way (the mean)

we aint talking about means though

i just have a question. how do you make a box plot if the data isn’t numerical? say it was frequency of hair colours. how do you make that a box plot? genuinely asking.

Exactly. 15 is C (8 in advanced). The people who selected D honestly deserved to get it wrong for trying to be a "smartass". Like I'm pretty sure question 15 (question 8 for advanced) is an iq question. If you got that wrong, your iq is definitely below 100 (no offense). IQ questions normally ask you to find the odd one out just like this. I hope NESA doesn't award the people who selected D, it's clearly possible the boxplot can look like that. Legit I just spent 30 minutes making data sets based of this and I could literally sketch a full fledged normally distributed box and whisker plot.

box plots are not used for categorical data we learn that in like year 7 lol

year 11 went really fast but year 12 has felt pretty slow

Can't relate, because unfortunately both year 11 and 12 have felt never ending. i actually cant remember my life before year 11

EXACTLY. so the point they made is null. therefore, you can assign numbers to the graph and you can make a five number summary and you can discover that D’s five number summary is different to the rest. i’m done now.

she's def state ranking

 

[katiekms]

sorry for being rude in this thread, i’m just trying to defend the right answer whilst also being scared that i lost a mark. forgive me

p.s. i love gifs now

you’re so right. it’s weird because in the moment it feels like forever but then you look back and it feels like went by so fast…??! especially when you look at all the milestones we’ve passed… like… the HSC is almost over.

i just entered non-school bos threads. i ran away and im never going back

almost is a bit of a stretch. most of us are about halfway through

i mean i view our HSC as the entirety of year 12. but you’re right, i also finish my exams earlier than most so i might have skewed it a bit. but you still have to agree, it’s crazy how close we are to being completely done with highschool.

yeah, im ready for it to be done

 

[lyingsalsa]

also like im only just realising my school is full of pricks whose daddy has a ton of money relative to everyone. i probably couldve done with a bit more exposure earlier tbh
