TQR = Q; - Q; = 23000-17000 = 6000 Your measurement axis should extend from slightly below the minimum to slightly above the maximum, Place tick marks at fairly round values (I've used 10000, 20008, ...). 10000 20000 30000 40000 0000 Salary ($) Draw a rectangle with ends at the quartiles.

On each side of the box extend a "whisker" to the most extreme observations Boxplot Construction within 1.5 @ IQR of the appropriate quartile Let's do the left side of the box first. Q; = 17000. Going 9000 below this gets us to 17000 - 9000 = 8000, The most extreme value within 9000 of 17000 is the most extreme value above 8000. Of course, all the values are above 8000. So, the most extreme value above 8000 is the smallest one- -8820. We draw the Now, the right side. up to the data set an 1.5 @ IQR= 1.5 @ 6000 = 9000 left-side whisker to 8820. 10000 20000 30000 40000 50000 Salary ($) Q5=23000. Going 9000 above Q; gets us to 23000 + 9000 = 10000 20000 30000 40000 50000 Salary ($) Complete the boxplot by plotting each point outside these extremes with a special symbols indi 10000 20000 30000 40000 50000 Salary ($) hitpnwww.oswego.eduerpistatsbp_con.htm 32000. Scroll back \d notice that 3 values (colored red) are above 32000; the most extreme value within 9000 of 23000---less than 32000---is 30000 (colored yellow blue in the dat ta set above). The right-side whisker is drawn to 30000. pecial symbol. These cate outliers. Here that’s the three red values from the data set: 32500, 37000 and 48000.
