Objective 9A box and whisker plot can be used to describe the distribution of adata set (that is, how near or far the data points are from one another).It also gives specific information about certain values related to the dataset.The table below represents the high temperatures in degreesFahrenheit for the month of July.High Temperature7778Frequency1079 080 181 182 083 084 485 186 187288 289 290 491 192 593 494 2The box and whisker plot below represents the data set shown inthe table above.MinimumLowerquartileMedianUpperquartileMaximum76 78 80 82 84 86 88 90 92 94 96As you can see from the box and whisker plot above, the dataappear to be closer together for the higher values and more spreadout for the lower values. The table supports this; there are 16 hightemperatures that are in the 90s.248
