1. BOX PLOTS (BOX AND WHISKERS)

2. Boxplot A graph of a set of data obtained by drawing a horizontal line from the minimum to maximum values with quartiles labeled in between. It is a graphical plot of 5 specific values called the 5- number summary.

3. 5-number summary….. Minimum – lowest number in set Q1- middle number of the lower half Median – middle number of entire set Q3 – middle number of upper half Maximum – highest number in set

4. Steps…… 1. Find the 5-number summary. 2. Draw and label a scale of equal intervals. 3. Place dots above the 5 numbers 4. Put a box around Q1 and Q3. 5. Draw a vertical line through the median. 6. Draw “whiskers” from the minimum to Q1 and maximum to Q3.

5. Example…… Draw a box plot of the following data. 33, 38, 43, 30, 29, 40, 51, 27, 42, 23, 31

6. Example…… Draw a box plot of the following data. 59, 60, 65, 52, 51, 64, 71, 48, 40, 50
