CREATING BOX PLOTS SHEET 1 - Create box plots using minimum, quartiles, median, and range

Oct 22, 2026

Worksheet instructions and solutions for creating box plots from two sets of numerical data. The first task uses Geography test marks from a group of students, requiring the calculation of ordered data, minimum value, first quartile, median, third quartile, maximum value, range, and interquartile range. The second task applies the same box plot steps to art gallery visitor counts across hours or a week, including filled-in quartile values and computed spread statistics.

FAQs

What data is used for the first box plot exercise?

The first exercise uses marks from a Geography test taken by a group of students.

What statistics must be filled in to draw each box plot?

You fill in the minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, maximum, range, and interquartile range.

How is the interquartile range calculated?

Interquartile range equals the third quartile minus the first quartile (e.g., 13 minus 10 equals 3 in the answers).

What is the second data set about?

The second exercise uses the number of visitors an art gallery has for different hours in a day (and an answers version for a particular week).
