Notes-Box & Whiskers Plots

This guide outlines the steps to create box and whisker plots from a given dataset. First, organize the data in order from least to greatest. Then, identify the upper and lower extremes, median, upper quartile, and lower quartile. Each calculated value is plotted on a number line to visually represent the distribution of the data. This method allows for easy interpretation and understanding of data variability and central tendency. Ideal for students and educators interested in statistical analysis.
