Introduction
A boxplot (also known as a box and whiskers plot) is
another way to display quantitative data. The box and
whiskers chart shows you how your data is spread out.
Five pieces of information (the “ five-number summary
“) are generally included in the chart.
The five-number summary
• The minimum (the smallest number in the data set). The minimum is shown at
the far left of the chart, at the end of the left “whisker.”

• First quartile, Q1, is the far left of the box (or the far right of the left whisker).

• The median is shown as a line in the center of the box.

• Third quartile, Q3, shown at the far right of the box (at the far left of the right
whisker).

• The maximum (the largest number in the data set), shown at the far right of the
box.
Finding the five-number summary : steps

Example 35, 28, 29, 38, 30, 34, 35, 25, 37, 29

Step 1: Order the data from smallest to largest.

Our data is already in order.


25, 28, 29, 29, 30, 34, 35, 35, 37, 38

Step 2: Find the median.

The median is the mean of the middle two numbers:


25, 28, 29, 29, {30}, {34}, 35, 35, 37, 38

{30+34}/{2}=32 The median is 32.

Step 3: Find the quartiles.

The first quartile is the median of the data points to the left of the median.
25, 28, {29}, 29, 30
Q1​=29

The third quartile is the median of the data points to the right of the median.
34, 35, {35}, 37, 38
Q3​=35

Step 4: Complete the five-number summary by finding the min and the max.

The min is the smallest data point, which is 25.


The max is the largest data point, which is 38.
The five-number summary is 25, 29, 32, 35, 38.
