1 -6 Box-and-Whisker Plots The table shows the stopping distances of different vehicles from 60 mi/h. Vehicle Stopping Distance (ft) A 120 B 158 C 142 D 131 E 128 F 167 G 136 To show the distribution of the data, you can use a box-and-whisker plot. Course 2
1 -6 Box-and-Whisker Plots To make a box-and-whisker plot for a set of data, you need to divide the data into four equal parts using quartiles. The following box-and-whisker plot shows the distribution of the vehicles’ stopping distances. Course 2
1 -6 Box-and-Whisker Plots first quartile, the median of the lower half of the data set lower extreme, or minimum value 110 Course 2 120 third quartile, the median of the upper half of the data set upper extreme, or maximum value second quartile, the median of the data set 130 140 150 160 170 180
1 -6 Box-and-Whisker Plots Additional Example 1: Reading a Box-and-Whisker Plot Use the box-and-whisker plot of students enrolled in craft classes to answer each question. 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 A. What is the largest class size? The largest data value is represented by the upper extreme on the box-and whisker plot. This value is 25. B. What is the range of the class sizes? The range is the difference between the lower extreme and the upper extreme: 25 – 10 = 15. C. About what fraction of the values are greater than 20? One of the four parts of the box-and-whisker plot falls above 20. This means about one-fourth of the values are greater than 20. Course 2
1 -6 Box-and-Whisker Plots Try This: Example 1 Use the box-and-whisker plot of the amount of money spent on a pair of shoes to answer each question. 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 A. What was the highest amount of money spent on a pair of shoes? 41 B. What is the range of shoe prices? The range is the difference between the lower extreme and the upper extreme: 41 – 27 = 14. 1 C. What fraction of shoes cost more than $35? 2 Course 2
1 -6 Box-and-Whisker Plots Additional Example 2: Making a Box-and-Whisker Plot Use the data to make a box-and-whisker plot. 73 67 75 81 67 75 85 69 Step 1: Find the lower and upper extremes, the median, and the first and third quartiles. Order the data from least 67 67 69 73 75 75 81 85 to greatest. 67 67 69 73 75 75 81 85 Find the lower and upper extremes. 67 67 69 73+75 75 81 85 2 =74 Find the median. Course 2

1 -6 Box-and-Whisker Plots Additional Example 2 Continued Step 2: Draw a number line. Above the number line, plot points representing the lower and upper extremes, the median, and the first and third quartiles. Step 3: Draw a box through the first and third quartiles. Inside the box, draw a vertical line through the median. Then draw lines from the first and third quartiles to the extremes. These lines are called whiskers. 64 Course 2 66 68 70 72 74 76 78 80 82 84 86
