Arm Span verses Height • Measure your height in inches • Measure the distance of your arm span. • Record the data in your graphing calculator in List 1 for arm span, List 2 for height.
Box and Whisker • Shows the distribution of data along a number line • Related to medians, which divide data into two equal parts • Good to make comparisons between items

Measures of Variation • Are used to describe distribution of data.
Quartiles • Values that divide a set of data into four equal parts. • **Remember that the Median separates a set of data in two equal parts
Lower & Upper Quartiles • The median of the lower half of a set of data is the lower quartile or LG • The median of the upper half of a set of data is the upper quartile or UQ.
Interquartile Range • This is the range of the middle half of the data. It is the difference between the upper quartile and the lower quartile.
Outliers: data that is more than 1.5 times the value of the interquartile range beyond the quartiles
Box and Whisker Plots Interquartile Range Lower Quartile Upper Quartile 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31
