OpenStudy (australopithecus):

box plots are pretty easy, |dw:1407446394676:dw|

OpenStudy (australopithecus):

q1 = quartile 1 25% of the data falls within it q3 = quartile 3 75% of the data falls within it m = median (the point where 50% of the data falls on either side it is denoted by a line IQR (interquratile range) = q3 - q1 Whiskers that extend from the box are calculated given the formula anything that falls outside of those whiskers is an outlier and usually appears as a star or asterisk

OpenStudy (australopithecus):

Range is simply the possible values on the y axis, domain is the values on the x-axis. Tbh I have no idea what the x and y axis represents in this diagram so I cant really help you any further

OpenStudy (australopithecus):

You can express range as an interval for this problem

Okay! Thank you for helping me out this far! @Australopithecus

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

are you looking for interquartile range or just range ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just Range!

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

highest number minus lowest number = range

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm having a little tough time reading the graph. Which are the the highest and lowest number?

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

I was having trouble seeing the numbers....but I think it is 32.5 - 10 = 22.5.....and these are grades ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes you are correct! These are the percentage of grades! So would that be the range? 22.5?

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

yes...22.5 is the range. I am not too sure about the second part. It says that 50% of the class scored more then how many points... 50% is in the middle and is therefore the median. The median of the numbers is close to 30, so I am guessing 50% of the class scored more then 30 ?? Not 100% sure on that

That does make sense though! @jdoe0001 is that right?
