Explanation Given Info: Take the data set from recent news 1) Minimum data point means the smallest data point in the data set, which we can see is 4.1. 2) Median is the data point at which 50% of data is covered. In order to find the median we arrange the data from smallest to largest. Then we find the location of median using the formula Location of median = (n+1) 2 Here n is the number of data points. As we can see we got 6.5 as location of median. Then we see that what numbers are coming at location of median and accordingly that number is our median. Since we got 6.5 so we will see the sixth data point and seventh data point in the data which has arranged from smallest to largest. As we can see we got 4.3 and 4.4 at sixth and seventh location respectively. So the average of 4.3 and 4.4 is 4.35. Which means the median of data set is 4.35. 3) Quartile 1 is the data point at which 25% of data is covered. For finding the quartile 1, we break the data into two parts and at the point of median. And then the median of the first part is quartile 1. As we can see in the calculations section we got the median of 4.35. We broke the data set in to two parts. The first part is from 4.1 to 4.3. And second data set is from 4.4 to 4.8. Using the same procedure as discussed above we got the median of first part to be 4.15 and second part to be 4.45. Accordingly the quartile 1 of data set is 4.15 and quartile 3 is 4.45. 4) The largest data point is 4.8. Boxplot In the above boxplot we have shown the five number summary. The very first line shown the minimum data point of 4.1 Next line which is the starting line of box shows the quartile 1 of 4.15 The middle line of box shows the median of 4.35 Then the line next to median shows the quartile 3 of 4.45 The very last line of box plot shows the highest data point of 4.8 Formula used: Location of median = (n+1) 2 “n” is the number of data points Calculation: Location of median = (12+1) 2 = 6.5 First we will arrange the data from smallest to largest then we will take the 6 th data point and 7 th data point and will find the average Data table from smallest to largest.
