A box plot gives a pictorial 5-number summary of data, for example,
the exam grades of 100
students shown, below. The plot shows the minimum, the first
quartile, the median, the
third quartile and the maximum. The IQR or interquartile
range is the length of the box.
You can highlight any entry in the table of Grades and change
it to another grade in the range 0 to
100. You can highlight entire blocks of entries and type a single number
to change them all at
once. You can highlight blocks of entire rows/columns and press
the Delete key to reduce the
size of the class. In each case, the statistical summary and the diagram
will adjust to reflect the
changes you make. Click Refresh or Reload to return to the original.
