Understanding Range in Box Plots

In this video, Mr. Jay explains how to find the range from box and whisker plots, also known as box plots. He uses a student's math test scores as an example to demonstrate the process. The range is calculated by subtracting the minimum value from the maximum value in the data set. Mr. Jay provides a clear example, showing that the range is the difference between the highest and lowest scores, which in this case is 16. He concludes by mentioning that the video focuses on finding the range and suggests checking the description for more detailed videos on box plots.
