Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Understanding Boxplots, Comparing Data Sets in Boxplots. Suitable for Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8.

Main Concepts

Make observations and inferences about data represented in a boxplot.
Given a data set represented in a boxplot, identify and describe the lower extreme (minimum), upper extreme (maximum), median, upper quartile, lower quartile, range, and interquartile range.
A boxplot will allow you to quickly analyze a set of data by identifying key statistical measures (median and range) and major concentrations of data.
The range is the difference between the upper extreme and the lower extreme. The interquartile range (IQR) is the difference between the upper quartile and the lower quartile.
When there are an odd number of data values in a set of data, the median will not be considered when calculating the lower and upper quartiles.

Discussion Questions

Before the Game

How can you determine the IQR when there are is an odd amount of data? How can you determine the median when there is an even amount of data? In the next game, you will evaluate data in order to level up a spaceship that collects materials from asteroids - what does "range" mean when discussing data? Using the example of 23, 26, and 28 as data points, what is the range? What is a median? What is the median using the above numbers?

After the Game

Using the data set, (13, 17, 25, 34, 39, 40, 60 63, 76, 82, 90), what are the minimum, maximum, and range? What is the median of the above data set? What is the lower quartile, upper quartile, and interquartile range (IQR) of the above number set? Draw a boxplot using this data. What is the first step you need to complete when organizing numbers in a box plot?
