Box and Whisker Plots | MathHelp.com

Need a custom math course? Visit www.MathHelp.com.
This lesson covers box and whisker plots. Students learn to make a box-and-whisker plot for a given data set using the following steps. First, write the data set in order from least to greatest. Next, find the second quartile, which is the median for the entire data set. Next, find the first quartile, which is the median for the lower half of the data set, and find the third quartile, which is the median for the upper half of the data set. Next, find the least and greatest numbers in the data set. Next, draw a number line with vertical lines at the first, second, and third quartiles, and connect the endpoints of the vertical lines to make a "box". Next, plot the least number in the data set and connect it to the box with a segment, and plot the greatest number in the data set and connect it to the box with a segment, to make "whiskers".

This is a perfect example of when your teacher tries to teach you this in a few hour long classes and you don't understand it, then you watch a 3 minute 26 second video and you understand it perfectly.

When a 3 minute video gives a better explanation than your actual teacher....😬😂

Very good explanation. Thank you!

[@user-eb1mj1zv6i]

It is possible to solve the question, what is the median, and what is the number that represents the lower quartile and the upper quartile in the question:34,35,36,38,40,42,42,43,45,50,55,65

[@brandybroadway4496]

you made this so simple, thank you!!!

Khan Academy could never explain as well as this

[@tundeilori6082]

Thank you so much. I comprehend this without struggling.

[@mengwaijim2718]

I don't like Box and whisker plots because it just displays median, minimum, maximum,1st quartile, and 2nd quartile. It won't show any other number so how will this be useful?

[@cheylovesgod]

Okay, but what if there are two medians? I completely forgot how to do that part.
Edit: Never mind, Kahn Academy from 7 years ago has swooped in to save the day.

Wow I love this vid so much and it’s very easy!

no poop you self the cow goes moooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[@birukastatike6792]

thank you very much

[@aliciaa6238]

Much clearer than Khan Academy! The KA guy goes too fast, presents too much extraneous information, and in general just sounds smug. She is straightforward, doesn't go off on tangents, and keeps the example clean and clear! I wish MathHelp.com could be the official video math system for Eureka Math!

[@nollywoodlistbykore]

God bless you ❤

[@lensanriagosantiago8948]

you are a life saver thanx you

[@mikiminachedits8411]

What if it doesn’t have a middle on the first quartile

[@eh-gm8pb]

take the median of the two in the centre. so if your first quartile is 2, 4, 6, 8 then your median will be 5
