  3. Move the data points around to make ONLY THE WHISKERS (at both ends) disappear. Make sure there's a BOX ONLY. (.ggb)
     
  4. The length of the BOX is said to be the INTERQUARTILE RANGE (IQR) of the data set. Create a data set for which the IQR = 6 units. (.ggb)
     
  5. The HORIZONTAL SPAN (DISTANCE) between the MIN and MAX (ends of both whiskers) is said to be the RANGE of this data set. Create a data set for which the IQR = 6 units & the RANGE = 12 units. (.ggb)
     
  6. Create a data set for which IQR = 4 units & RANGE = 12 units. (.ggb)
