Box Plots

Question 8 • Pre-Algebra B

Which statements are true about box plots? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
They help describe sets of data.
B
They include the mean.
C
They show the data split into four parts.
D
They show outliers through really short “whiskers.”
E
Each section of a box plot represents 25% of the data.

Explanation

Box plots summarize a data set using its median, quartiles, and whiskers, so they help describe data. The quartiles divide the data into four parts, each containing about 25% of the observations. A box plot does not include the mean, and outliers are usually shown as separate points rather than identified by really short whiskers.
