Question

when we do the whisker plot does it really matter that we have to start from 10 ??

Answer 1

no, depends on the data set. whisker goes from lower extreme to lower quartile & from upper extreme to upper quartile...

Answer 2

Find the median , the first quartile ( Q1) and the third Quartile ( Q3)
145,159,162,163,165,173,174,177,177,181,184,186,193

Answer 3

help me

Answer 4

what number(s) is to the right of 186? can't read it...

Answer 5

193

Answer 6

:( are you able to help me?

Answer 7

145 = lower extreme, 193 = upper extreme.
174 = median, are there any numbers after 193?

Answer 8

No !

Answer 9

ok, your quartile values are 25% below average & 25% above average...sorry don't have my calculator with me & i'm having trouble doing this in my head...

Answer 10

what?? i got the different answer :/

Answer 11

how? what did you get?

Answer 12

For Q1 i collect first half of the numbers and the look for median

Answer 13

and for Q2 you collect rest of the half numbers and then do the samething, find the median

Answer 14

yep, you're right, i'm sorry, you're abs right...

Answer 15

and????

Answer 16

some texts exclude the median when finding the lower/upper quartiles when you have an even number of data above & belowe the median & some include it...not sure which method you're being taught...

Answer 17

in your problem, you have six values above & belowe the median...so if you use method of inclusion--you include the median...if you use method of exclusion you get a slightly diff answer...

Answer 18

am i rong?

Answer 19

no, you are correct...if you include the median...then q1=163, and q2=181...

Answer 20

and i think method of inclusion is most popular & taught most often...

Answer 21

Answer 23

Answer 24

yes, you're right.
