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:

  1. Minimum: The smallest value in the dataset.
  2. First Quartile (Q1): The median of the lower half of the data.
  3. Median (Q2): The middle value of the dataset.
  4. Third Quartile (Q3): The median of the upper half of the data.
  5. Maximum: The largest value in the dataset.

Based on the boxplot you provided, here is the five-number summary:

  1. Minimum = 5
  2. First Quartile (Q1) = 10
  3. Median (Q2) = 13
  4. Third Quartile (Q3) = 15
  5. Maximum = 18

Here are five related questions:

  1. How do we calculate quartiles from a dataset?
  2. Why is the five-number summary important in understanding data distribution?
  3. How can we identify outliers using a boxplot?
  4. What does the interquartile range (IQR) represent?
  5. 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.
