This Grade 5 worksheet asks students to choose the best graph for each real situation, read histogram bins precisely, and use quartile information from box-and-whisker plots to describe spread. Practice strengthens reasoning about why some displays suit categorical data while others suit numerical ranges of values. Grade 5 learners gain confidence comparing distributions, summing adjacent bins, and computing interquartile range correctly to interpret spread.

Data Interpretation
Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. If you survey 50 students about favorite colors, the best display is a bar graph.
2. To show how a plant's height changed each week for 10 weeks, use a line graph.
3. To group test scores into ranges of 10, the right display is a histogram.
4. On a box plot, the box length from Q1 to Q3 shows the interquartile range.
5. If a histogram bin 70-80 holds 9 scores and bin 80-90 holds 4 scores, 13 scores were 70 to 90.
6. A box plot's median sits to the right of center when the data is skewed left.
7. The best way to compare boys and girls in two histograms is to use the same bins.
8. If Q1 is 12 and Q3 is 28 on a box plot, the interquartile range equals 16.
9. A pie chart works best when each slice represents a percent of the total.
Part B: Matching
Match each item on the left to the correct answer on the right.
1. Match each item to its correct answer.
