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.arrow_forward
- Consider the women's 100-yd dash (and the subsequent 100-m dash) in the Olympics since records have been kept. Determine the best way to combine all data and depict the data. Choose the correct answer below. O A. A line graph would be the best way to show all of the data over time, but some measurements would have to be converted to display the 100-yd and 100-m on the same graph. OB. A scatterplot would show the relationship between the 100-yd dash and the 100-m dash. O C. A stem and leaf plot would be the best way to show all of the data grouped by race times. O D. A histogram would show all of the data by comparing each year. The units of distance would not matter.
