those questions that ask you to pick an appropriate graph for the data given....is there a full proof table somewhere or is the one in the textbook the best one? how do you do these questions?

thanks :)

Wouldn't call it fool proof at all, but it's from the essentials textbook could be a little helpful.

There's a bigger table that also includes bivariate and time series data... Since I unfortunately don't have that textbook, would it be possible for someone to upload the entire image for me? :)

what about questions asking you to give evidence why the relationship (back to back box plots usually) has a relationship. does anyone have a model answer that you can sub the variables / values into? do you usually compare just the medians? I like having a model answer so i don't screw up the wording or anything, just plug in the variables and data.

I don't have a template answer for you but generally you can comment on the change in shape, centre and spread. :)
