Who is better at quizzes and why? Using box and whisker graphs we can argue who is better here are two possible answers, Student A is better because their median, upper quartile and lower quartile were higher than student B. This means most of their quiz marks were better. or Student B is better than student A because they have the highest quiz mark and their worst quiz mark is not as low as student A’s worst quiz mark.
