Math 2A: 12-3 Box & Whisker Plots A box-and-whisker plot is a diagram that summarizes the data by dividing it into four parts. Creating a box-and-whisker plot: 17,18,9,10,6,5,6,10,14,12,11,8 1) Order the data from least to greatest. 5,6,6,8,9,10,10,11,12,14,17,18 Sunshine State Standards: MA.E.1.3.1-1, MA.E.1.3.1-2, MA.E.3.3.1-3
Math 2A: 12-3 Box & Whisker Plots 5,6,6,8,9,10,10,11,12,14,17,18 2) Find the median. (10+10) ÷ 2 = 10 3) Find the upper quartile, the median of the top half. (12+14) ÷ 2 = 13 4) Find the lower quartile, the median of the lower half. (6+8) ÷ 2 = 7 Sunshine State Standards: MA.E.1.3.1-1, MA.E.1.3.1-2, MA.E.3.3.1-3
