Additional Example 3: Comparing Data Sets Using Box-and-Whisker Plots
These box-and-whisker plots compare the ages of the first ten U.S. presidents with the ages of the last ten presidents (through George W. Bush) when they took office.

Additional Example 3 Continued
A. Compare the medians and ranges.
The median for the first ten presidents is slightly greater. The range for the last ten presidents is greater.
