What is the type of average on a box and whisker plot?
On a standard box-and-whisker plot, the averages used are medians. Arithmetic means are used in some box-and-whisker plots, but most use medians.
How box and whisker plots are used in real life?
They are never used there is no point in learning about them. We have to because it is required in school. So learn it but you will never use it.
How do you find the mode in a box and whisker?
You cannot. The mode is not part of a box and whisker plot.
A box and whisker plot has 4?
A box and whisker plot has four quartiles in which its data is spread across.
What are the names of different graphs?
pie charts, bar graphs, scatter plots, line graph, histogram, line plot, bar graph, double bar graph, pictograph, and box and whisker plot.
Are line graphs the same as box and whisker plots?
No because box and whisker plots are related to cumulative frequency curves
What does the 88 represent on a box and whisker plot?
Nothing. Most box and whisker plots do not have 88 on them!
Can box and whisker plots have intervals?
Yes, I believe they can.
How do you create a parallel box-and- whisker plots?
Parallel box and whisker plots are regular box and whisker plots, but drawn "one-above-the other" on the piece of paper. To enable to do this easily, draw an x-axis which is big enough for the largest value in the data, and small enough for the smallest value in the data (in the entire collection of data). Plot each box-and-whisker diagram below each other.
What is the type of average on a box and whisker plot?
On a standard box-and-whisker plot, the averages used are medians. Arithmetic means are used in some box-and-whisker plots, but most use medians.
Who invented box and whisker plots?
I believe it was John Tukey in 1997
When will I use box and whisker plots in real life?
never, you will never use it
When are box and whisker plots used in real life besides in a class?
it is absolutely cazy and stupiddunno
You want to construct a box-and-whisker plot from a data set What is the first thing you should do?
Box-and-whisker plots highlight central values in a set of data. In order to construct a box-and-whisker plot, the first step is to order your data numerically and find the median value.
What does it mean when the left whisker is longer than the right whisker in box plots?
It means that the smaller value (in the lowest quartile) are more spread out than larger values.
Who uses box and whisker plots?
More people in different professions are finding use for box and whiskers plots. It can be used very effectively in time series analysis, which may include engineers, economists, earth scientists, statistician, social sciences and medicine, to name a few professions. Stock market analysis using the open, hi, low & close format as used in Excel is not really the same, but it does show the range of the values for a stock, and relavent values. Excel (by Microsoft) does not have box and whisker plots, but there are many companies selling add in programs to make these plots. I use the Matlab program, which has the capabilities to make box and whisker plots. See related links.
What is the box whisker plot?
A box and whisker graph is used to display a set of data so that you can easily see where most of the numbers are. Here is a link to a nice VIDEO that shows you how to make and understand the plots. http://www.metacafe.com/watch/1033050/box_and_whisker_plot/
