1 Chapter 1 Lesson 4 Quartiles, Percentiles, and Box Plots

2 Vocabulary Quartiles- The three values which divide an ordered set into four subsets of approximately the same size. Second (Middle) Quartile- Median of the data set. First (Lower) Quartile- Median of values below the median. Third (Upper) Quartile- Median of values above the median. Five Number Summary- Quartiles along with minimum and maximum of the data set. P th Percentile- A value in the set such that P percent of the numbers are less than or equal to that value. Box Plot (Box-and-Whisker Plot)- A visual representation of the five number summary. Inter-Quartile Range (IQR)- Third Quartile minus First Quartile. Outliers- An element of a set of numbers which is very different from most or all of the other elements. Spread- Distance between values.

3 Finding Outliers Find the IQR Add 1.5 x IQR to the 3 rd Quartile Any number larger than sum is an outlier Subtract 1.5 x IQR from the 1 st Quartile Any number smaller than difference is an outlier Outliers can be on both sides, one side, or there could be no outliers at all.

4 Five-Number Summary 21, 22, 26, 23, 33, 41, 39, 33, 18, 25, 30, 19, 20, 24, 35, 42 Minimum? First Quartile (Q 1 )? Second Quartile (Q 2 )(Median)? Third Quartile (Q 3 )? Maximum? IQR? Outliers?

5 Five-Number Summary 1, 1, 9, 4, 7, 3, 10, 11, 2, 15, 13, 4, 3, 9, 11, 13, 8, 6, 2 Minimum? Lower Quartile (Q 1 )? Middle Quartile (Q 2 )(Median)? Upper Quartile (Q 3 )? Maximum? IQR? Outliers?

6 What would happen if? What would happen to the five number summary if all of the numbers in the data set were changed by the same amount?

7 How to use the Five Number Summary Makes a Box-and-Whisker plot.

8 Percentiles 0 th Percentile- Minimum 25 th Percentile – First (Lower) Quartile 50 th Percentile- Second (Middle) Quartile 75 th Percentile- Third (Upper) Quartile 100 th Percentile- Maximum
