Why isn't the median in the middle of a box and whisker plot?

The median is between Q1 and Q3 and is the same as Q2. These are the same as 25%, 50% and 75% so the median is in the middle of the box in a box and whisker plot.


What if the data doesnt have a median how do we make a box and whisker plot?

If the data are quantitative they must have a median. If there is no median it is only because the data are qualitative and, in that case, a box and whiskers plot is meaningless.


Can you find the mean median mode and range on a box and whisker plot?

Oh, dude, finding the mean, median, mode, and range on a box and whisker plot is like trying to make a sandwich with a hammer. The box and whisker plot already shows you the median (that's the line in the box) and the range (from whisker to whisker). The mean and mode aren't typically shown on a box plot because they're off doing their own thing, not invited to the box and whisker party.


Which measure of center is easiest to find on a box plot?

The median.


Which is the only information that can be determined by looking at a box and whisker plot?

What kind of graph or plot would you use to find the median age of the teachers at a school?

A Box and Whisker Plot.


Why doesn't the median from the percent cf curve is the same as the median from my box plot?

You must have made a mistake with one (or both) of them.


How can you tell if data is skewed on a box plot?

If the median is exactly in the middle of the box, and the box is exactly in the middle of the whiskers, then skewness = 0. The data are skewed if either the median is off-centre in the box, or if the box is off-centre overall.


When do you use a box-plot?

A box plot may be used at a preliminary stage to determine the centre and spread of a set of data. The box [and whiskers] plot measures the central point by the median and the range from the maximum and minimum or the quartile points.


A box plot is also known as a box-and-whisker plot.?

A box plot is a visual representation of the distribution of a dataset. It displays the minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, and maximum values of the dataset. The "box" in the plot represents the interquartile range, while the "whiskers" represent the range of the data excluding outliers.


What statistics are needed to draw a box plot?

You need the median, which is the line inside the box, the lower quartile and the upper quartile which are the left and right sides of the box.


What is a box plot?

Not sure about a box plot, but a box and whisker plot is a representation of statistical data for one variable (at a time).It consists of a rectangular shape, the "box", plotted against a horizontal value axis. The left side of the box is the lower quartile of the data and the right side is the upper quartile. The median divides the box.Extending out from both sides of the box are lines, the "whiskers", that reach to the minimum and maximum values.So, a box and whisker plot is defined byminumum,lower quartile (Q1),median (Q2),upper quartile (Q3), andmaximum.If there are outliers, they are usually excluded from the box and whiskers plot and are marked up separately as crosses.
