  1. (1) Interpret the graph. Use the five number summary and/or box and whisker plot to describe the election results in terms of quartiles. State a conclusion in the context of the problem. You should use specific percentiles in your statement. For example (you may not use this one as your answer) 25% of the elections from 1948 to 2016 were won with 49% of the popular vote or less.

  1. (1) Call an election a landslide if the winner's percent falls AT or ABOVE the third quartile value. Which elections were landslides? (answer with the specific years.)
