5. Litter Size23456 Number of Litters 168111 The table below summarizes a veterinarian’s records for kitten litters born in a given year. While central tendency describes the middle of a data set, variability describes how spread out the data is. Quartiles divide a data set into four equal parts. The third quartile minus the first quartile is the range for the middle half of the data.

6. Litter Size23456 Number of Litters 168111 The range of a data set is the largest value minus the smallest value. For the kitten data, the range is 6 — 2 = 4. The range is affected by outliers, so another measure is often used. Quartiles divide a data set into four equal parts. The third quartile minus the first quartile is the range for the middle half of the data.

13. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 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 lower fourth and upper fourth quarters are represented by “whiskers” that extend to the smallest and largest values. First quartile Third quartile Median
