Whisker Project

A girl basketball team scores following 10, 12,14,16,18,20, 22, 24,


26,28,30,32,34,36,38,40,40,42,44,46,48,50,52,56,58 construct a box and
whisker plot to represent the data.

To find all the five values


Least value (lower Extreme) is the first number on the line
Greatest Value (Upper Extreme) is the last number on the line
Median is the middle number of the entire number line which is 34
Lower quartile is the median of the lower quartile which is 25%
Lower quartile = (20+22) /2 = 21
Upper quartile is the median of the upper half which is approximately 75%
Upper quartile = (44+46)/2 = 45
The inter quartile range ( IQR) is the difference between upper quartile and
lower quartile which is 45 21 = 24
