Practice makes perfect

We want to fill in the missing numbers to complete the box plot. This type of graph summarizes a set of data by displaying it along a number line. It consists of three parts: a box and two whiskers.

  • The left whisker extends from the minimum to the first quartile.
  • The box extends from the first to the third quartile and has a vertical line through the median.
  • The right whisker extends from the third quartile to the maximum.

    The numbers we need are the first and third quartiles, the median, as well as the minimum and maximum values. These five numbers are often called the five-number summary of the data set. Minimum:& 25 First Quartile:& 30 Median:& 35 Third Quartile:& 45 Maximum:& 55 Let's complete our box plot using these numbers! Enzo's practice times (minutes)
