Shape of Distribution of Box and Whisker Plot

Identify the shape of distribution of the box-and-whisker plot. Explain.

• Skewed right; because the left whisker is longer

• symmetric; whiskers are about the same length

• Skewed left; because the right whisker is longer

• Skewed left; because the left whisker is longer

• A. Mean and Mode

• B. Mean and Median

• C. Least and Greatest Value

• D. Lower and Upper Quartile

• A. Mean

• B. Median

• C. Mode

• D. Range

What is the interquartile range (IQR) of plot A?

• 6

• 8

• 15

• 28

Which box and whisker plot has an upper extreme of 100?

• Plot 1

• Plot 2

• Plot 3

• Plot 4

Use the box-and-whisker plot to match the following:

Data Analysis

Megan constructed two box-and-whisker plots, shown below.

What is the difference in the medians of the two box-and-whisker plots?

• 0

• 70

• 110

• 50

Answer explanation

This is the result of subtracting 90 - 40.
