Box and Whisker Plot Concepts

This video tutorial demonstrates how to create a box and whisker plot using a TI-84 calculator. It covers entering data, setting up the stat plot, adjusting window settings, graphing the plot, and using the trace function to identify key values. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of accounting for outliers and provides step-by-step instructions for each process.
