To answer your questions regarding the box-and-whisker plots for Mitch and Ellie's students' essays, I'll need specific details from the plots, such as the values for the upper quartiles (Q3), lower quartiles (Q1), and the total number of essays. However, since you didn't provide those details, I can guide you on how to interpret the box-and-whisker plots:
1. **Finding the Bigger Upper Quartile (Q3)**:
- Look at the line that represents the upper quartile (Q3) in each box-and-whisker plot. The class with the higher value for Q3 has the bigger upper quartile.
2. **Finding the Smaller Lower Quartile (Q1)**:
- Look at the line indicating the lower quartile (Q1) for both plots. The class with the lower value for Q1 has the smaller lower quartile.
3. **Determining Which Class Has the Most Essays**:
- Box-and-whisker plots typically do not show the total number of essays. However, if you have information about the number of values represented, you can compare those. If one plot covers a larger data range or has more individual points, that class likely has more essays. If it’s not clear from the plots alone, you might be relying on additional statistical data provided elsewhere.
If you provide the specific values or descriptions of Mitch and Ellie's box-and-whisker plots, I would be able to give you more precise answers!
