To find the statistical measures for the given data set, let's first sort the data and then calculate the required values:
The sorted data is: 6, 6, 6, 10, 11, 11, 12, 12, 14, 15, 15, 16, 16
Statistical Measures
-
Minimum (Min): The smallest value in the data set.
- Min = 6
-
First Quartile (Q1): The median of the first half of the data (the lower 50%).
- First half: 6, 6, 6, 10, 11, 11
- Q1 = (6 + 10) / 2 = 8
-
Median (Med): The middle value when the data is ordered.
- Total number of values: 13
- Median = 12 (the 7th value in the ordered set)
-
Third Quartile (Q3): The median of the second half of the data (the upper 50%).
- Second half: 12, 14, 15, 15, 16, 16
- Q3 = (15 + 15) / 2 = 15
-
Maximum (Max): The largest value in the data set.
- Max = 16
Summary of Statistical Measures
- Min: 6
- Q1: 8
- Med: 12
- Q3: 15
- Max: 16
Box and Whisker Plot
To create the box and whisker plot, you can represent these values:
- Draw a rectangular box from Q1 to Q3 (from 8 to 15).
- Draw a line at the median (12) inside the box.
- Extend "whiskers" from the box to the Min (6) and Max (16) values.
This creates a visual representation of the data's spread and central tendency. If you have a graphical tool, you would drag the lines accordingly to reflect these calculations.
