Progress CheckUse this activity to assess whether you and your peers can:
Use a five-number summary and a boxplot to describe a distribution.
Recognize the median as the center between two equally-sized groups within a distribution of data.
Use the IQR to describe the spread for the middle 50% of a data set.
Recognize the limitations of a boxplot.
ContextHere is a boxplot for a distribution of data.
PromptCalculate the IQR for the boxplot shown.
Make up a data set (n = 10) that has the same minimum value, same median, and same maximum value, but a larger IQR than the boxplot shown. List your data set and then describe your strategy.
Make up another data set (n = 10) that has the same minimum value, same median, and same maximum value, but a smaller IQR than the boxplot shown. List your data set and then describe your strategy.

1.5 ptsPartial Credit
One or more parts of the “Prompt” are not addressed or are incorrect. Or, answers do not demonstrate attainment of the learning objectives in the “Progress Check” section of the assignment. Or, answers are correct, but the writing/work is unclear, incorrect, or difficult to follow.
0 ptsNo Marks
The “Prompt” is not addressed or the work is incorrect or missing. Or, the first draft was not a good-faith effort.

This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomePeer Review
2 ptsFull Credit
You completed the assigned peer review. The points you assigned in the rubric for the “Addressing the Prompt” criterion are appropriate. You used the “Add a Comment:” field to submit your assignment comments. Your assignment comments relate the score you assigned in the “Addressing the Prompt” criterion of the rubric to how your peer addressed the learning objectives when responding to the “Prompt.” (Note: the learning objectives are listed in the “Progress Check” section of the assignment.) If you awarded full credit for the “Addressing the Prompt” criterion in the rubric, your comments contextually and specifically explain what your peer did to demonstrate attainment of the relevant learning objectives. If you deducted points for the “Addressing the Prompt” criterion, you clearly explained what your peer can do better to demonstrate attainment of the relevant learning objectives.
1 ptsPartial Credit
You committed a good-faith effort to provide a high-quality peer review, but necessary instructive comments are missing. Or, you provided appropriate instructive comments but did not complete the rubric.
0 ptsNo Marks
No peer review provided or the comments are not instructive. Or, you did not commit a good-faith effort on your first draft.
