About this app
Quartiles & Box Plots is an interactive statistics learning app for building and interpreting box plots. Add or remove data values, sort the data conceptually, and observe the minimum, Q1, median, Q3, maximum, IQR, and full range. Explore how shifting, spreading, or moving one extreme value affects a box plot, then test your understanding with a four-question challenge.
