Texas Instruments: Let's Play Ball With Box and Whisker Plots

This activity is designed to help students make decisions about what and how information could be displayed graphically. The data set deals with salaries of professional baseball players. It is designed for students to determine if the data should be represented as one-variable or two-variable statistics. The teacher will generate the data (salaries) via the web browser in TI-InterActive! and send all (and select parts) of the data for groups of students to analyze, represent, and compare.
