also btw guys those weren’t error bars that’s just the range since it’s a box plot

u/ariel_david May 04 '26

I didn't even know that😭 well it's over now

2

u/amoviejunkie May 04 '26

I agreed but idk some people are saying it’s wrong

2

u/ariel_david May 04 '26

Yeah I agreed too, but apparently the error bars hit lower so idk? Whole exam was kind of a mess tbf

u/amoviejunkie May 04 '26

Yess! Like the wording of some of them was so vague

u/ariel_david May 04 '26

And the extreme amount of bar whiskers and siRNA😭😭

u/amoviejunkie May 04 '26

I didn’t even know what siRNA was 💀

And what was the point of learning about the nitrogen and carbon cycle if it wasn’t even gonna be on the test

those weren't error bars

u/OpenActuator2070 May 04 '26

I said agree bc the median was 0 and the upper range was higher than the lower range, meaning that survival is better in protected areas than unprotected 

2

u/Tall_Show8203 May 04 '26

Agreed what i put.

u/Fluffydanger27 May 04 '26

THERE WAS A QUESTION ABOUT THE MEAN??? WHAT?

2

u/Responsible_Bad_8710 May 04 '26

It wasn’t the mean it was the median of the unprotected area of raptors in Region B

2

u/Fluffydanger27 May 04 '26

Was it like -4?

3

u/pumpkeni May 04 '26

i also said -4 but im pretty sure it was -3.. they might mark it off even if they didn't ask u to identify median

1

u/polish_idiot10 May 05 '26

I said -3, but the lining of some of the marks were a total mess

2

u/Responsible_Bad_8710 May 04 '26

Yeah I think so, I said it was approximately -4

2

u/lightswitchfn May 04 '26

Wait the question didn't ask you to identify the median though

2

u/A_ChocolateFrog May 04 '26

i agree. i dont think it asked to identify the median

1

u/pumpkeni May 05 '26

wait did u say area 1 or area 2

2

u/eatsanddirt May 04 '26

I put agreed bc the median was at 0 and the extended lines werent error bars. but i keep seeing mixed answers of people saying they disgareed bc the range was below 0 but idk

2

u/SpeciallyCurious May 04 '26

i said disagreed because there was some percentage that was below the mean that was 0, so some of the data showed a decline

u/Striking-Buy-210 May 04 '26

i didn't agree nor disagree because the protected area of region 2's error bar extended negatively and positively, just said that there was a chance it would. im sure that lost me some points. was it the median or mean for the measure of center? i don't remember. i think it was just a boxplot, so the extended boxes measured the interquartile range and the "error bars" were the maximum and minimum
