Box+and+Whisker+Plot

We did a box and whiskers chart because the data we had would not fit any other graph. We couldn't use a line plot or histogram because in the data that is given to us, there is no frequency. We can't use a scatter plot because we only have one set of data not two so there is no pattern to show. And we can't use a circle graph because we don't have any percentages to show.

A Box and Whisker plot are use to summarize a set of data. The box and whisker plot worked well for the data of : 10, 13, 16, 17, 20, 22, 23, 24, 26, 30, 31 because it shows range of this numbers by the median and the quartiles. The quartiles spit the data into quarters. Another reason why the only choice we had was a box and whisker because since there is no frequency, based on the lowest and greatest value, lower and upper quartile, and a median we can also find out in this case the study hours of our 11 students. When using the box and whisker using the median can show the difference of the highest ans lowest value.The lower and upper quartiles can do the same thing, but only in it's specific region.
