Statistics Project

Consider, the following recipe entries, submitted by 25 various


chefs, for their chance to be featured in a charity cookbook.
Data used: (as entered)

14,17,22,52,11,10,12,18,18,23,27,29,29,29,42,30,31,32,33,34,
35,36,37,38,79
25 pieces of data are utilized, as illustrated in this Box Plot: Also

known as box and whisker plot, this is a diagram that gives a visual
representation to the distribution of the data, highlighting where
most values lie and those values that greatly differ from the norm,
called outliers.
Elements of the box plot: The bottom side of the box represents the
first quartile, and the top side, the third quartile. Therefore the
vertical width of the central box represents the inter-quartile
deviation.
The horizontal line inside the box is the median. The vertical lines
protruding from the box extend to the minimum and the maximum
values of the data set, as long as these values do not differ from the
median by more than one and half times the interquartile range. The
ends of the whiskers are marked by two shorter horizontal lines.
The values plotted below the bottom and above the top whisker, are
called outliers. (alcula.com)1
