Many students at popular school in Timbuktu have been complaining that there seems to be some level of inconsistency with the marking of essays among teachers. To verify if there is any truth to this, a group of students submitted the same essay to different teachers. The grade awarded by each teacher for each essay was recorded. Use the data below to answer the questions that follow.
