No! Box and whisker plots seek to explain data by showing a spread of all the data points in a sample. The "whiskers" are the two opposite ends of the data. This video is more fun than a handful of catnip.

It helps us identify the minimum, maximum, median, and quartiles of the data. However, it doesn't provide specific details like the exact number of students at certain ages. video https://cdn.kastatic.org/googleusercontent/GKp7a1kqWbgwMiyrh8dT7LIKAevwFYlFYN0KubkwgyGf_5_phggpEpR-fXalnNib2MUlseIJwE4QalgiNfGiaoDm1Q Interpreting box plots A box and whisker plot is a handy tool to understand the age distribution of students at a party.

Aubrey gathered info. Then she made a scatter plot with the time of day on the bottom (on the horizontal axis) and the scores on the side (on the vertical axis). She didn't find a clear pattern.

Also, the scale of both axes should be reasonable, making the data as easy to read as possible. In these practice problems, we practice telling good scatter plots from bad ones. Jeff exercise
