 The five number summary is another name for the visual representation of the box and whisker plot.  The five number summary consist of : ◦ The median ( 2 nd quartile) ◦ The 1 st quartile ◦ The 3 rd quartile ◦ The maximum value in a data set ◦ The minimum value in a data set

The table shows the stopping distances of different vehicles from 60 mi/h. Course 2 Box-and-Whisker Plots A 120 B 158 C 142 D 131 E 128 F 167 G 136 Vehicle Stopping Distance (ft) To show the distribution of the data, you can use a box-and- whisker plot… see the next slide.

Course 2 Box-and-Whisker Plots lower extreme, or minimum value first quartile, the median of the lower half of the data set second quartile, the median of the data set third quartile, the median of the upper half of the data set upper extreme, or maximum value

 Step 1 - Find the median.  Remember, the median is the middle value in a data set. 18, 27, 34, 52, 54, 59, 61, 68, 78, 82, 85, 87, 91, 93, is the median of this data set.

 Step 2 – Find the lower quartile.  The lower quartile is the median of the data set to the left of 68. (18, 27, 34, 52, 54, 59, 61,) 68, 78, 82, 85, 87, 91, 93, is the lower quartile

 Step 3 – Find the upper quartile.  The upper quartile is the median of the data set to the right of , 27, 34, 52, 54, 59, 61, 68, (78, 82, 85, 87, 91, 93, 100) 87 is the upper quartile

 Step 4 – Find the maximum and minimum values in the set.  The maximum is the greatest value in the data set.  The minimum is the least value in the data set. 18, 27, 34, 52, 54, 59, 61, 68, 78, 82, 85, 87, 91, 93, is the minimum and 100 is the maximum.

 Step 5 – Find the inter-quartile range (IQR).  The inter-quartile (IQR) range is the difference between the upper and lower quartiles. ◦ Upper Quartile = 87 ◦ Lower Quartile = 52 ◦ 87 – 52 = 35 ◦ 35 = IQR

Organize the 5 number summary ◦ Median – 68 ◦ Lower Quartile – 52 ◦ Upper Quartile – 87 ◦ Max – 100 ◦ Min – 18

 Notice, the Box includes the lower quartile, median, and upper quartile.  The Whiskers extend from the box to the max and min.

 The data values found inside the box represent the middle half (50%) of the data.  The line segment inside the box represents the median

Use the following set of data to create the 5 number summary. 3, 7, 11, 11, 15, 21, 23, 39, 41, 45, 50, 61, 87, 99, 220

 What is the median or 2 nd quartile? 3, 7, 11, 11, 15, 21, 23, 39, 41, 45, 50, 61, 87, 99, 220  The median is 39

 What is the lower or 1 st quartile? (3, 7, 11, 11, 15, 21, 23), 39, 41, 45, 50, 61, 87, 99, 220  The lower quartile is 11

 What is the upper or 3 rd quartile? 3, 7, 11, 11, 15, 21, 23, 39, (41, 45, 50, 61, 87, 99, 220)  The upper quartile is 61

 What is the maximum? 3, 7, 11, 11, 15, 21, 23, 39, 41, 45, 50, 61, 87, 99, 220  The max is 220

 What is the minimum? 3, 7, 11, 11, 15, 21, 23, 39, 41, 45, 50, 61, 87, 99, 220  The min is 3

Take out your graph paper so we can practice graphing the data. 1. Draw a number line. Choose an appropriate interval and label your number line. 2. Graph each of the values in the 5 Number Summary onto your number line. 3. Draw a box around the upper and lower quartile and draw a vertical line through the median. 4. Extend whiskers to the extreme points.

 Median - 39  Lower Quartile - 11  Upper Quartile - 61  Max  Min - 3

Study your Box and Whisker Plot to determine what it is telling you. Make a statement about what it is saying, then support the statement with facts from your graph. The following slides show you how to interpret and describe your box plot.

Miles per Gallon of 4-cylinder Cars Miles per gallon (mpg) Range or spread of the data and what it means to your graph Quartiles - compare them. What are they telling you about the data? Median - this is an important part of the graph, and should be an important part of the interpretation. Percentages should be used to interpret the data, where relevant.

Miles per Gallon of 4-cylinder Cars Miles per gallon (mpg) The Box and Whisker Plot clearly shows that there is a lot of different gas mileages on various 4-cylinder vehicles. The mileage ranged from 24 miles per gallon(mpg) to a high of 44 mpg. This is a 20 miles per gallon spread, which in car mileage is quite a bit of difference. The first quartile reads as 32 mpg which means that 75% of the vehicles in this study got 32 mpg or more. The 3 rd quartile tells us that 25% of these cars got 38 mpg or higher which is really good mileage. The median cuts the data in half. The median is 32 mpg. Therefore half the cars in the study received 32 mpg.
