Answer:
Lauren made her first error in step 3 because she should have used 85 minus 60 = 25 for chemistry and 80 minus 60 = 20 for biology.
Step-by-step explanation:
Lauren's box plots may have looked like those below.
Step 1
Chemistry median = 80
Biology median = 70
Correct.
Step 2
Difference in medians = 80 - 70
Correct
Step 3
Chemistry IQR = 85 - 60 = 25
Biology IQR = 80 - 60 = 20
Wrong.
This is where Lauren made the mistake.
She was finding the difference between the Max and Q3.
