Question

Describe the distribution of the

box-and-whisker plot. what does it mean
in terms of the situation.

Answer 1

You have to find the shape, the center, and the range.

Shape: If most of the numbers/variables or the box is near the left, the shape is skewed to the right. If the box is near the left whisker, the shape is skewed to the left. If the box looks like it is in the middle of the chart, the shape is approximately normal.

Center: The center is the middle number of all of the data. You could say that it is the mean/average. Just use this: (Add all numbers) : (Number of variables)

Range: To find the range of the distribution, you simply just Subtract the biggest number with the smallest number.

Ex. 70-34=36 <------ Range
