What is a Box & Whisker Plot? Used when there is a large amount of data Shows:
Median(Q2) Minimum Maximum Lower Quartile(Q1) Upper Quartile(Q3) Sometimes outliers Inter Quartile Range (IQR)

What is the Inter Quartile Range (IQR)?Q3-Q1=IQR

Example 7, 7, 9, 9, 10, 10, 11, 11, 12, 13 Used to find number of sled dogs left
competing in race

Real Life Data Data was collected from Arcola’s 7th
grade Honors Algebra classHours of Electronics Used Per Day 2.5, 4.5, 4.5, 1, 1.5, 1, 3, 2, 1, 6, 3, 2, 3,
1, 3, 5

Real Life Data (cont.) What is the interquartile range (IQR) of
this data set?Q1 = 1.25
Q3 = 3.75
Median = 2.75 Max. = 6 Min. = 1
Hours of Electronics Used Per Day
Interquartile range: 3.75-1.25=2.5

How to Make a Box PlotHere is an example of a set of numbers collected.
2.5, 4.5, 4.5, 1, 1.5, 1, 3, 2, 1, 6, 3, 2, 3, 1, 3, 5Order the numbers
1, 1, 1, 1, 1.5, 2, 2, 2.5, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4.5, 4.5, 5, 6Find the median of the set
1, 1, 1, 1, 1.5, 2, 2, 2.5, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4.5, 4.5, 5, 6 Q2= (2.5 + 3)/2= 2.75

How to Make a Box Plot (cont.)Find the medians of the upper and
lower quartiles1, 1, 1, 1, 1.5, 2, 2, 2.5 and 3, 3, 3,
3, 4.5, 4.5, 5, 6The median of the lower quartile is:
Q1 = (1 + 1.5)/2 = 1.25The median of the upper quartile is:
Q3 =(3 + 4.5)/2 = 3.75
![Page 10: Box & Whisker Plot](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081419/568165c5550346895dd8d28c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
How to Make a Box Plot (cont.) Plot:
Median = 2.75 Q1 = 1.25 Q3 = 3.75 Maximum = 6 Minimum = 1
Draw tick marks indicating median, Q1, Q3, minimum, and maximum
Draw box around median, Q1, and Q3 Connect box to maximum and minimum
endpoints to create “whiskers”

Advantages & DisadvantagesAdvantages
Able to tell median, range, lower quartile, upper quartile, minimum, and maximum
Not cluttered with too much information
Can show outliers
Disadvantages Doesn’t show
specific numbers Doesn’t show
subtle changes Can’t identify the
original numbers used in the data set
