How do we use box plots and scatter graphs to represent and compare large data sets? Reading from a Box Plot How do I identify the 5 quartiles and measures of spread from a box plot?
How do we use box plots and scatter graphs to represent and compare large data sets? How do I identify the 5 quartiles and measures of spread from a box plot?
How do we use box plots and scatter graphs to represent and compare large data sets? The Knowledge Phase The Knowledge Phase A Box and Whisker plot is names because of how it looks (a box with whiskers either side) It is a statistical diagram used to display and compare discrete and continuous data. The statistics presented on a Box and Whisker plot are: Minimum Value Q0 Lower Quartile Q1 Median Q2 Upper Quartile Q3 Maximum Value Q4 Once these values have been obtained, we are then also able to calculate some measures of spread: The range (Q4 Q0) The Inter Quartile Range (Q3 Q1) How do I identify the 5 quartiles and measures of spread from a box plot?
