b (vii) Box Plot for Total Score

From the Box Plot we can see there is no outlier and extreme outliers value for total score.

b (viii) Box Plot for Male and Female Student

From the Box Plot, we can see for male student’s score, there are outliers value detected (7th and
19th data) while the 13th data is the extreme outlier value. For female student’s score, there is no
outlier value detected.

Box Plot for Male Students Science Score

From this Box Plot, we can see the 7th and 19th data are considered as outliers value while the 13th
data is the extreme outliers value for male students.
