Instructions
In this worksheet, you will analyze data from a citizen science project focused on flower pollinators, specifically bees. You will create a box plot (box whisker plot) to visualize the forage count of bees based on collected data. Answer the following questions based on your analysis.
1. Data Summary
List the number of bee forage counts you collected during your observation. Please write the counts in numerical order:
2. Identify the Five-Number Summary
Provide the five-number summary of your dataset:
- Minimum:
- Lower Quartile (Q1):
- Median (Q2):
- Upper Quartile (Q3):
- Maximum:
3. Create the Box Plot
Draw a box plot below based on your five-number summary:
4. Interpretation
Based on your box plot, what observations can you make about the forage count of bees? Include any patterns you notice and any outliers:
5. Reflection
How do you think this data visualization can help in understanding bee populations and their foraging habits? Provide your insights:
