A box-and-whisker plot is a data display that divides a set of data into four
parts. The median or second quartile separates the set into two halves: the
numbers that are below the median and the numbers that are above the median.
The first quartile is the median of the lower half. The third quartile is the
median of the upper half.
Which numbers would be the whiskers?
7, 9, 11, 3, 16, 7, 10
Find the first, second, and third quartiles of the data.
SOLUTION
a. Begin by writing the numbers in increasing order. You must find the second
quartile before you find the first and third quartiles.
3, 7, 7, 9, 10, 11, 16
Finding Quartiles
Second quartile: 9
First quartile: 7
Third quartile: 11
