32. Example: Make a stem-and-leaf plot of the data below
Example: Make a stem-and-leaf plot of the data below. Then find the range, median, and mode of the data.
42, 45, 37, 46, 35, 49, 47, 35, 45, 63, 45
First, order the data from least to greatest.
35, 35, 37, 42, 45, 45, 45, 46, 47, 49, 63
The tens digits form the stems, and the ones digits form the leaves.
Mode = ____
Median = ____
Range = ___________ 45 45
63 – 35 = 28

34. Box and Whiskers Plots Lower extreme Lower quartile Median
Upper quartile
Upper extreme
Lower extreme: the lowest or smallest value in a set of data Lower quartile or first quartile: the median of all data below the median Median or second quartile: the middle value of the set of data. If there are two values in the middle, the median is the average of the two values Upper quartile or third quartile: the median of all data above the median Upper extreme: The biggest value in the set

35. Draw a rectangle or box starting from the lower quartile to the upper quartile. Draw a vertical segment too to represent the median
Construct a box and whiskers plot for the data set: {5, 2, 16, 9, 13, 7, 10}
First, you have to put the data set in order from greatest to least or from least to greatest From least to greatest we get :
2    5    7    9    10     13    16
Since the greatest value in the set is 16, the upper extreme is 16
Since the smallest value in the set is 2, the lower extreme is 2

36. Now, look carefully at the set: 2 5 7 9 10 13 16
Box and Whiskers Plots
Now, look carefully at the set:  2    5    7    9    10     13    16
You can see that 9 is located right in the middle of the set of data Therefore, 9 is the median

37. Box and Whiskers Plots
Now to get the lower extreme, you need all data before the median or 9 2    5    7    9    10     13    16 In bold right above we show all data before 9, so  2    5    7    Since the value in the middle for the set   2    5    7    is 5, the lower extreme is 5

38. Box and Whiskers Plots
Finally, to get the upper extreme, you need all data after the median or 9 2    5    7    9    10     13    16 In bold right above we show all data after 9, so  10    13    16    Since the value in the middle for the set   10    13    16    is 13, the upper extreme is 13

39. Box and Whiskers Plots
Draw a rectangle or box starting from the lower quartile to the upper quartile. Draw a vertical segment too to represent the median

40. Box and Whiskers Plots
Finally, draw horizontal segments or whiskers that connect all five dots together. The box and whiskers plot for {5, 2, 16, 9, 13, 7, 10} is :
