Comparing Data

I've picked up Further 3/4 in Year 12 after doing methods in year 11.

However, I'm not sure how to construct a concise paragraph when asking to compare the data or when it asks for me to comment on it. Any tips or ticks on how to do this would be very much grateful!

I had the same concerns and im coming from the same position as you, but i continued with 3/4 methods.
I ended being told just ot follow the one provided in the textbook as a template, and ill generally just cover all the bases and allow for a bit of tolerance and include (at this stage im up to chapter 3D). The lowest value, Q1, Median, Q3, Highest value, spread of distribution by IQR and range, mean and the shape of the graph. Basically just cover it all with the rationale if i screw up one of them i can still get full marks with the other ones being there. Bit of a security net. Hope i helped and good luck with Further!

Brilliant, thanks so much. That was what I was doing but I just wasn't 100%, but I'll definitely try to do that :) Thanks again!
