12.27 State SAT scores. We want to compare the distributions of average SAT Math and Evidence-Based Reading and Writing (ERW) scores for the states and the District of Columbia. We enter these data into a computer with the names SATM for Math scores and SATERW for Evidence-Based Reading and Writing scores. Below is output from the statistical software package Minitab. (Other software produces similar output. Some software uses rules for nding the quartiles that differ slightly from ours. So software may not give exactly the answer you would get by hand.) Use this output to make boxplots of SAT Math and Evidence-Based Reading and Writing scores for the states. Briey compare the two distributions in words.
