Question

The floor exercise is a commonly shared event between the Women’s and Men’s Artistic Gymnastics programs. Let’s compare the floor exercise scores of the female gymnasts and male gymnasts. To do this, we will consider the 2007, 2011, and 2015 results as sample data.

Part A: Individual All-Around Finals

We will first look at the floor exercise scores in the Individual Female All-Around Finals and in the Individual Male All-Around Finals.
