SDAP1.1 Know various forms of display for data sets, including a stem-and-leaf plot or box-and-whisker plot; use the forms to display a single set of data or to compare two sets of data. SDAP1.3 Understand the meaning of, and be able to compute, the minimum, the lower quartile, the median, the upper quartile, and the maximum of a data set. California Standards

Objective: Today we will display and analyze data in box-and-whisker plots.

APK Teacher I do 1. Order the test scores from least to greatest: 89, 93, 79, 87, 91, 88, Find the median of the test scores. 79, 87, 88, 89, 91, 92, Find the median of the following test scores? 65, 75, 92, 90, 74, 86, 98 Students complete: We will need to know how to find the median in order to make box and whisker plots.

Vocabulary lower quartile upper quartile box-and-whisker plot minimum maximum

A box-and-whisker plot shows the distribution of data. The middle half of the data is represented by a “box” with a vertical line at the median. The box extends to the upper and lower quartiles. The upper quartile is the median of the upper half of the data. The lower quartile is the median of the lower half of the data. Lower quartile Upper quartile Median Data set: 85,92,78,88,90,88,89 What is a box-and-whisker plot? What are the upper and lower quartiles?

The lower fourth and upper fourth quarters are represented by “whiskers” that extend to the minimum (least) and maximum (greatest) values. Lower quartile Upper quartileMedian Data set: 85,92,78,88,90,88,89 W hat are minimum and maximum values?

Litter Size23456 Number of Litters The table below summarizes a cat breeder’s records for kitten litters born in a given year. You can divide the data into four equal part using quartiles.

Kitten Data Lower halfUpper half Lower quartile: 3 median of lower half Upper quartile: 5 median of upper half Median: 4 You know that the median of a data set divides the data into a lower half and an upper half. The median of the lower half is the lower quartile, and the median of the upper half is the upper quartile.

Kitten Data Lower halfUpper half Lower quartile: 3 median of lower half Upper quartile: 5 median of upper half Median: 4 You know that the median of a data set divides the data into a lower half and an upper half. The median of the lower half is the lower quartile, and the median of the upper half is the upper quartile.

Importance Why do we need to know how to display and analyze data in box-and-whisker plots ? *It helps you to interpret and represent data. *It gives a visual representation of data. Tell your partner which reason is most important to you. You can use one of mine or one of your own. p/s - volunteers
