Monday HW!

Tonight, please determine the 5 number summary for the ogive regarding "heights," and then use this to create a boxplot.

  • Even though the values on the y-axis are written as decimals, these still represent the "cumulative frequency" or "percentile" and can be written as percentages (multiply by 100 to convert to a %)
  • When we create the boxplot we will only have the 5 number summary--this means that if the minimum is a low outlier, we will not be able to draw an arm on the left side of the boxplot; similarly, if the max is a high outlier, we will not be able to draw the arm on the right side of the boxplot!

We will also have our chapter 5 vocab quiz to start class tomorrow! STUDY! Here's the vocab list: (use the glossary at the end of chapter 4 and the end of chapter 5 for definitions!)

  • Midrange
  • Know the (4) measures of center: mean, median, mode, midrange
  • Standard Deviation (Sx)
  • Range
  • Interquartile Range (IQR)
  • Know the (4) measures of spread: range, IQR, standard deviation, and variance
  • Percentile
  • Know the percentile for each value in the 5 number summary
  • Histogram
  • Ogive
  • Boxplot
  • 5 number summary
  • "Appropriate summary statistics"--know the table we finished in class!
