Box and Whisker Plot 5 Number Summary for Odd Numbered Data Sets
Finding the Median of Odd Numbered Data Sets Once the pieces of data (numbers) are arranged in order from least to greatest, then the middle number of the set is the median [3, 4, 4, 5, 8 , 8, 9, 10,11] The median for this set of data = 8
Odd Numbered Data Sets The median splits the data set in half.
[3, 4, 4, 5,] 8 , [8, 9, 10,11] From here we can then find the upper and lower quartiles as well as the upper and lower extremes.
Lower Quartile The lower quartile is the median of the bottom half of the data (to the left of the median).
If the part of the set we are considering has an even number pieces of data, you must find the mean of the two middle pieces of data to get the lower quartile.
[3, 4, 4, 5,] 8 , [8, 9, 10,11] 4 + 4 = 8 8 divided by 2 = 4 The lower quartile for this set of data = 4
Upper Quartile The upper quartile is the median of the top half of the data (to the right of the median).
If the part of the set we are considering has an even number pieces of data, you must find the mean of the two middle pieces of data to get the upper quartile.
[3, 4, 4, 5,] 8 , [8, 9, 10,11] 9 + 10 = 19; 19 divided by 2 = 9.5
The upper quartile for this data set = 9.5
Interquartile Range To find the interquartile range, subtract the lower quartile from the upper quartile.
[3, 4,] 4 [4, 5,] 8 , [8, 9] 9.5 [10,11] Upper Quartile – Lower Quartile = _____ 9.5 – 4 = 5.5
The intequartile range for this data = 5.5
Lower Extreme The lower extreme is the lowest number in the data set.
[ 3 , 4,] 4 [4, 5,] 8 , [8, 9] 9.5 [10,11] The lower extreme for this data set = 3
Upper Extreme The upper extreme is the highest number in the data set.
[3, 4,] 4 [4, 5,] 8 , [8, 9] 9.5 [10, 11 ] The upper extreme for this data set = 11
Range The range of the data can be found by subtracting the lower extreme from the upper extreme.
[ 3 , 4,] 4 [4, 5,] 8 , [8, 9] 9.5 [10, 11 ] 11 – 3 = 8 The range for this data set = 8
5 Number Summary [3, 4, 4, 5, 8 , 8, 9, 10,11] Median = 8 Lower Quartile = 4 Upper Quartile = 9.5
Lower Extreme = 3 Upper Extreme = 11
