OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have to make a box and whisker plot for these but i dont know how to find the quartiles and stuff i need two different ones

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dont you find the median then find the median on the left and right side then leave out the outliers

Directrix (directrix):

There is an online boxplot maker but I have found that it messes up the quartiles so I don't use it. >>>>> dont you find the median then find the median on the left and right side then leave out the outliers Yes. How many data points are in each set?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

15

Directrix (directrix):

We need the data points of each set in ascending order (low to high)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so check my work my median is 85 my first quuartile is 72 and my third one is 92

Directrix (directrix):

I have to put the numbers in increasing order before I can crank out anything.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

38,45,62,72,75,80,85,85,86,87,90,92,94,94,100

Directrix (directrix):

Okay. Now I can pick up some speed.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im pretty sure 38,45 are the outliers

Directrix (directrix):

38 ,45 ,62, (((( 72 )))) ,75, 80 ,85 ((,85)) ,86, 87, 90 ((((,92,)) 94 ,94, 100 Median 85 and Q1 72 and Q3 92 Is that what you got?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now my minium point would be 62 and my max would be 100 correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and my outliers 38 and 45

Directrix (directrix):

First data set has upper extreme of 100 and lower extreme of 38

OpenStudy (anonymous):

38 isnt an outlier?

Directrix (directrix):

Extremes are not necessarily outliers.

Directrix (directrix):

You are working ahead of me. I'm still on Data Set 1.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

me to

Directrix (directrix):

What process do you use to get the outliers?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk i thought you subtracted the 100-38 and that would be the differnetial and if its bigger than that than its an outlier

Directrix (directrix):

I use the 1.5 times the IQR approach (Inter Quartile Range)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which would mean there is no outliers

Directrix (directrix):

What is Q3 - Q1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

20

OpenStudy (anonymous):

20x1.5 is 30

Directrix (directrix):

What is Q1 - 30

OpenStudy (anonymous):

42

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 38 is an outlier.

Directrix (directrix):

Are there any data points BELOW 42

OpenStudy (anonymous):

38

Directrix (directrix):

38 is an outlier, then.

Directrix (directrix):

What is Q3 + 30

OpenStudy (anonymous):

122 so no outliers

Directrix (directrix):

Okay. So, just the one outlier. Will you post Data Set 2 in increasing order?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

72,78,78,78,82,84,85,86,86,88,90,90,91,94,95

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Median: 86 Q1:78 Q3:90

OpenStudy (anonymous):

with no outliers

Directrix (directrix):

72 ,78 ,78, ((((78)))) ,82 ,84 ,85 (((,86))) ,86 ,88 ,90 (((,90))) ,91 ,94, 95 Q1 = 78, Q2 = 86, Q3 = 90

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the IQR difference is 18 so there is no outliers

Directrix (directrix):

IQR = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12

Directrix (directrix):

1.5 * 12 =

OpenStudy (anonymous):

time 1.5 so 18 so no loutliers

Directrix (directrix):

Q1 - 18 =

OpenStudy (anonymous):

60

Directrix (directrix):

Any data points below 60?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope

Directrix (directrix):

Q3 + 18 =

OpenStudy (anonymous):

108

Directrix (directrix):

Any data points above 108

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope

Directrix (directrix):

So, no outliers for set B.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay no more questions on this part but i got follow up questions for this if you dont mind helping

OpenStudy (anonymous):

80 72 100 85 90 90 87 85 94 92 84 100 86 91 75 90 78 30 94 94 94 100 86 72 75 82 85 45 78 87 85 86 42 38 78 100 72 95 90 94 90 94 62 88 60 same thing but the last row is class C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

• Part 1: Make a dot plot for each of Classes B and C. • Part 2: What information is easily seen from the dot plots for Classes B and C? • Part 3: Look at the box plot and dot plot created for Class B. What are the strengths and weaknesses of each type of plot? • Part 4: Which of the two classes (B or C) performed better on the test? Justify your conclusion.

Directrix (directrix):

Do you have to make a box plot for class C?
