| PM | -1.2 | -0.2 | 0.6 |

(a) Using the raw data and summary information presented in the tables above, construct modified box plots to compare the changes in available space the morning and afternoon. (Reminder: Don't forget to check for outliers!)
(b) The Transit System wishes to know if their efforts to improve the standing space were successful. (Remember, more space is better!) Their engineers had suggested that the changes in the system would, on average, be more successful at increasing the available space in the morning than in the afternoon. Does the data support this initial belief? What specific aspects of the plot in part (a) support your answer?
(c) Using your box plots in part (a), write a short paragraph for the New York Times describing the success the Transit System had in increasing the available space per passenger. Note any differences in success between the morning rush and the afternoon rush.

Biological evolution is the summation of changes that have occurred as a result of ____________ . The first living organisms were likely ____________ that evolved 3.5 billion years ago. Approximately 2.1 billion years ago the first ____________ were thought to have evolved. However, it was not until 700 million years ago that the first ____________ organisms evolved, meaning that they have existed for less than 20% of Earth's life history. Because all living organisms evolved from a single common ancestor, they are fundamentally ____________ in their characteristics.
