A box-and-whiskers plot is a good way to show the spread (or variation) of a set of data visually.

A box-and-whiskers plot shows both the median and extremes of a data set.
Median: the middle term, or the average of the two middle terms, when the terms are arranged from least to greatest.
Extremes: the minimum and maximum values

The extreme values are used to find the range of the set of data by finding the difference between the lower extreme and the upper extreme.

Quartiles: the medians of the lower and upper halves of the data.Lower

Box-and-whiskers plots are uniform in the use of the box. Therefore, no matter the size of each section, the data is evenly divided in quarters (25%).

Therefore the entire box-and-whiskers plot is equal to
100% of the data.

85 in Ms. Winston’s classc) If 80 is a passing grade, which
class had the higher percent of students who passed? Explain your answer.
Ms. Winston’s class. Mr. Johnson had 50% passers and
