	Definition--Measures of Central Tendency--Box-and-Whisker Plot	Box-and-Whisker Plot Topic Statistics Definition A box-and-whisker plot is a graphical representation of data that displays the distribution through quartiles. Description Box-and-whisker plots are useful for visualizing the spread and skewness of a data set, highlighting the median, quartiles, and potential outliers. They are particularly valuable in comparing distributions across different groups. In real-world applications, box plots are used in quality control processes and in analyzing survey data to identify trends and anomalies.	Data Analysis

	Video Transcript: Algebra Applications: Variables and Equations	Video Transcript: Algebra Applications: Variables and Equations This is the transcript for the video of same title. Video contents: In this episode of Algebra Applications, two real-world explorations are developed: Biology. Analyzing statistics from honey bee production allows for a mathematical analysis of the so-called Colony Collapse Disorder. Geology. Why do rivers meander instead of traveling in a straight line? In this segment the geological forces that account for a river??s motion are explained.	Applications of Equations and Inequalities
	Video Transcript: Algebra Applications: Variables and Equations, Segment 2: Honey Production	Video Transcript: Algebra Applications: Variables and Equations, Segment 2: Honey Production This is the transcript for the video of same title. Video contents: Honey bees not only produce a tasty treat, they also help pollinate flowering plants that provide much of the food throughout the world. So, when in 2006 bee colonies started dying out, scientists recognized a serious problem. Analyzing statistics from honey bee production allows for a mathematical analysis of the so-called Colony Collapse Disorder.	Applications of Equations and Inequalities
