CREATING BOX PLOTS SHEET 3 - Fill in data and draw box plots

Oct 22, 2026

Worksheet instructions for creating box plots using given numerical data sets. Task 1 uses daily temperatures from different states and asks for the ordered values plus minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, maximum, range, and interquartile range, then to draw the box plot on a number line. Task 2 repeats the process for soccer players’ heights in inches, providing the ordered list and the five-number summary components to support accurate visualization.

FAQs

What information is needed to create a box plot for the temperature data?

Compute the ordered temperatures, then identify the minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, and maximum, along with range and interquartile range.

How do you determine the quartiles and median for the soccer player heights?

Order all heights, then use the data to find the first quartile, median, and third quartile; the worksheet lists the resulting five-number summary.

What does the range and interquartile range represent on this worksheet?

Range is maximum minus minimum, and interquartile range is third quartile minus first quartile, both used to summarize spread for the box plot.
