To find the requested statistical measures for the given dataset:
Data (sorted): 2, 2, 4, 6, 6, 7, 8, 9, 9, 11, 11, 12, 19
Statistical Measures:
-
Minimum (Min):
The smallest value in the dataset:
Min = 2 -
Maximum (Max):
The largest value in the dataset:
Max = 19 -
Median (Med):
To find the median, we need to find the middle value of the dataset. Given there are 13 data points (an odd number):- The median is the value at position (n + 1) / 2 = (13 + 1) / 2 = 7th position.
- The 7th value in the sorted list is 8.
Med = 8
-
First Quartile (Q1):
Q1 is the median of the first half of the dataset (the first seven numbers):
2, 2, 4, 6, 6, 7, 8- The 4th value (middle of these 7), which is 6.
Q1 = 6
- The 4th value (middle of these 7), which is 6.
-
Third Quartile (Q3):
Q3 is the median of the second half of the dataset (the last six numbers):
9, 9, 11, 11, 12, 19- The average of the 3rd and 4th values: (11 + 11) / 2 = 11.
Q3 = 11
- The average of the 3rd and 4th values: (11 + 11) / 2 = 11.
Summary of Statistical Measures:
- Min: 2
- Q1: 6
- Med: 8
- Q3: 11
- Max: 19
Box Plot Creation:
With the calculated values, you can create the box plot as follows:
- Draw a box from Q1 (6) to Q3 (11).
- Draw a line at the median (8) inside the box.
- Extend the whiskers from the box to the minimum (2) and maximum (19).
This results in the following intervals:
- Whisker: 2 to 6 (Min to Q1)
- Box: from 6 to 11 (Q1 to Q3)
- Line inside box: at 8 (Median)
- Whisker: 11 to 19 (Q3 to Max)
Now you can use this information to create your box and whiskers plot by dragging the lines as needed.
