<p>Look at the answer for free response 1. I thought boxplots only had one axis, yet this has two: one is labeled “Variable.” Do you really have to do this and what is the significance of it?</p>

<p>Also, how many digits do you show after the decimal point? In the exam, the given answers showed 7 for the FRQ… yet I thought it was only 3.</p>

<p>Repeatedly bumping isn’t going to help your cause.</p>

<p>I think the “variable” axis is just a place holder. The only time I’ve seen two axes were when comparing multiple boxplots (x-axis would remain the same, y-axis would label “experiment 1” etc., or vice-versa).</p>

<p>I only show 4 decimal places max. It would be silly to include more.</p>

5

<p>Thanks, but do you have any idea why they showed so many in the practice?
and if I did not put the extra axis, would I be marked down?</p>

<p>No you wouldn’t be marked down. It’s only needed for when you have side by side boxplots</p>
