Left-Brain, Right-Brain Test Results An experiment found a significant difference between the ability of boys and girls to identify objects held in their left hands (which are controlled by the right side of the brain) versus their right hands (which are controlled by the left side of the brain). The TI Graphics team decided to conduct a similar test for adult men and women. Problem 30 small objects were chosen. Coworkers held half of the objects (which they were not allowed to see) in their left hands and half in their right hands and tried to identify them. Use box plots to compare visually the results from the table below.

Left-Brain, Right-Brain Test Results
An experiment found a significant difference between the ability of boys and girls
to identify objects held in their left hands (which are controlled by the right side
of the brain) versus their right hands (which are controlled by the left side of the
brain). The TI Graphics team decided to conduct a similar test for adult men and
women.
Problem
30 small objects were chosen. Coworkers held half of the objects (which
they were not allowed to see) in their left hands and half in their right
hands and tried to identify them. Use box plots to compare visually the
results from the table below.
