(Show your work.)b) Are any outliers present in the best actress data? If so, identify the data values and explain how you know. (Show your work.)4. BOX AND WHISKER PLOTS (20 points)You will construct both box and whisker plots together using the same scale. Your scale should run from 20 to 80 and count by 4’s. Make sure you label your scale at the very bottom.a) Make a box and whisker plot for the best actor data. (Leave room underneath it for the actresses’ box and whisker plot.) Make sure you provide a title above it.b) Make a box and whisker plot for the best actress data. Make sure you provide a title above it.5.

(You need at least 2 complete sentences.)c) Compare the best actor and best actresses distributions.What do you notice? What can you conclude based on the differences between those distributions? (In other words, what do those differences tell you about the winners and also the judges of the Oscars?) (You need at least 3 complete sentences.)Rubric(You will turn this in with your project)1.
