3. Example-3
3. Calculate Box and Whisker Plots from the following data `3,13,11,15,5,4,2`
Solution: Box and Whisker Plots : `3,13,11,15,5,4,2`
Steps of Five-Number Summary
Step-1: Arrange the numbers in ascending order `2,3,4,5,11,13,15`
Step-2: Find the minimum value Minimum `=2` (the smallest number)
Step-3: Find the maximum value Maximum `=15` (the largest number)
Step-4: Find the median The median is the middle number in a sorted data set and N is the total number of elements If N is odd then the median is a single middle number, and if N is even then the median is the average of the two middle numbers.
`2,3,4,5,11,13,15`
`N=7` is odd, so median is the middle number at position 4
We have `5`
`:.` Median `=5`
Step-5: Place parentheses around the numbers above and below the median. `{2,3,4},5,{11,13,15}`
Step-6: Find `Q_1` by finding the median for lower half of data(left of the median)
`2,3,4`
`N=3` is odd, so median is the middle number at position 2
We have `3`
`:.Q_1=3`
Step-7: Find `Q_3` by finding the median for upper half of data(right of the median)
`11,13,15`
`N=3` is odd, so median is the middle number at position 2
We have `13`
`:.Q_3=13`
Step-8: Summary found in the above steps. Minimum `=2`
`Q_1=3`
Median `=5`
`Q_3=13`
Maximum `=15`
