Match each box-plot to the histogram that displays the same data.

A symmetrical box plot where the box quartiles span a wider range than the whisker quartiles

1

A

a histogram with 6 bins. The first 5 increase in height from left to right. The height of the last bin is in between the height of the fifth and sixth.

a symmetrical box plot whose whiskers span a range about double the size of either of the boxes in the middle

2

B

a symmetrical histogram with tall bars on the left and right side, a gap in the middle, and shorter bars inside of the tall bars.

a box plot where the left whisker falls directly along the left side of the box, the box representing the second quartile is twice as wide as the box representing the third quartile, and the whisker representing the fourth quartile spans about six times the range of the second quartile

3

C

a histogram with 3 relatively tall bars on the left, a number of low bars in the middle, and a bar on the right that is slightly taller than any other bar

a box plot with a long left whisker, 2 equal-size boxes that each span about 1/3 the distance of the left whisker, and a right whisker whose span is about 1/4 the size of either of the boxes.

4

D

a symmetrical histogram with bars of 3 different heights. The shortest bars are on the outside, the inner bars are about twice as tall and the bars in the center of the histogram are about 3 times as tall as the outer bars.

a box plot with short whiskers. The box representing the second quartile is about 1/3 the size of the box representing the third quartile.

5

E

a histogram with 5 bins, which decrease in height from left to right
