Illustrative Mathematics: S id.a.3 Identifying Outliers

Curated by ACT

In this task, students are asked to construct a box plot of the distances they live from school and describe the main features of the distribution. The purpose of this task is to develop students' understanding of how extreme data points affect measures of center and how to use the mathematical definition to classify data points as "outliers." Aligns with HSS-ID.A.3.
