Math Problem Statement
Based on the boxplot above, identify the 5 number summary
Solution
The five-number summary for a dataset, as represented in a boxplot, consists of:
- Minimum: The smallest value in the dataset.
- First Quartile (Q1): The median of the lower half of the data.
- Median (Q2): The middle value of the dataset.
- Third Quartile (Q3): The median of the upper half of the data.
- Maximum: The largest value in the dataset.
Based on the boxplot you provided, here is the five-number summary:
- Minimum = 5
- First Quartile (Q1) = 10
- Median (Q2) = 13
- Third Quartile (Q3) = 15
- Maximum = 18
Let me know if you want more details or have any questions!
Here are five related questions:
- How do we calculate quartiles from a dataset?
- Why is the five-number summary important in understanding data distribution?
- How can we identify outliers using a boxplot?
- What does the interquartile range (IQR) represent?
- How does a boxplot help in comparing two datasets?
Tip: A boxplot visually summarizes the distribution of a dataset, making it easy to spot outliers and understand data spread.
