This data shows the scores achieved by fifteen students who took a short maths test. The test
was marked out of ten.
To construct a box and whisker plot, we need five pieces of information.
The median
The highest value
The lowest value
The upper
quartile
The lower
quartile

To find the median and the upper and lower quartiles, we first of all need to arrange the data….
in rank order

Now that we have found the median, both quartiles
and the highest and lowest values, we have all the information which we need in order to be able to
construct the box and whisker diagram

We first of all need some sort of grid. We can use graph paper for this or just ordinary squared
paper will do equally well

Box and Whisker plots are useful when comparing sets of data
For instance, the scores of the original group of students, group A are now being compared with those of a second group B
