How to create a box-and-whisker plot:
To draw a box-and-whisker plot you need five pieces of information, called
the five-number summary: the smallest value, the lower quartile (LQ), the
median, the upper quartile (U0) and the largest value.
An outlier is a value that is much smaller or much larger than the other
values. An outlier is a point less than the LQ-1.5x 1QR or greater than
the UQ+1.5xIQR.
Review the data in the Table 1, entitled, "Average Annual Salaries for Bachelor of Science
Graduates, Summer 2016-Spring 2017".
Using this data, create a chart (with a title, labeled axes, and a legend) comparing the average salaries
that you could use to guide high school students who want salary influence the type of engineering
major that they will choose. Consider, which fields tend to make the most money?
Write a recommendation letter addressed to a high school student who wants to select an engineering
field based on the salary; using a comparison of the data, recommend which majors they should most
closely consider.
