Draw box plot from raw data

A question is this sub-type if and only if it provides raw data or a stem-and-leaf diagram and asks the student to first calculate the summary statistics (quartiles, median, etc.) before drawing the box-and-whisker plot.

  1. Draw a box-and-whisker plot to represent the data. An expensive house is defined as a house which has a price that is more than 1.5 times the interquartile range above the upper quartile.
  2. For the above data, give the prices of the expensive houses.
  3. Give one disadvantage of using a box-and-whisker plot rather than a stem-and-leaf diagram to represent this set of data.

6 The birth weights in kilograms of 25 female babies are shown below, in ascending order.
1.392.502.682.762.822.822.843.033.063.163.163.243.32
3.363.403.543.563.563.703.723.723.844.024.244.34
  1. Find the median and interquartile range of these data.
  2. Draw a box and whisker plot to illustrate the data.
  3. Show that there is exactly one outlier. Discuss whether this outlier should be removed from the data. The cumulative frequency curve below illustrates the birth weights of 200 male babies.

  4. Find the median and interquartile range of the birth weights of the male babies.
  5. Compare the weights of the female and male babies.
  6. Two of these male babies are chosen at random. Calculate an estimate of the probability that both of these babies weigh more than any of the female babies.

7. Jane and Tahira play together in a basketball team. The list below shows the number of points that Jane scored in each of 30 games.

  1. Construct a stem and leaf diagram for these data.
  2. Find the median and quartiles for these data.
  3. Represent these data with a boxplot. Tahira played in the same 30 games and her lowest and highest points total in a game were 19 and 41 respectively. The quartiles for Tahira were 27, 31 and 35 respectively.
  4. Using the same scale draw a boxplot for Tahira's points totals.
  5. Compare and contrast the number of points scored per game by Jane and Tahira. \section*{END}

  1. The stem and leaf diagram shows the ages of the 35 male passengers on a cruise.
Age
13\(( 1 )\)
279\(( 2 )\)
31288\(( 4 )\)
45567889\(( 7 )\)
52233445668\(( 10 )\)
60114447\(( 7 )\)
736\(( 2 )\)
878\(( 2 )\)
Key: 1 | 3 represents an age of 13 years
  1. Find the median age of the male passengers.
  2. Show that the interquartile range (IQR) of these ages is 16 An outlier is defined as a value that is more than
    \(1.5 \times\) IQR above the upper quartile
    or
    \(1.5 \times\) IQR below the lower quartile
  3. Show that there are 3 outliers amongst these ages.
  4. On the grid in Figure 1 on page 9, draw a box plot for the ages of the male passengers on the cruise. Figure 1 on page 9 also shows a box plot for the ages of the female passengers on the cruise.
  5. Comment on any difference in the distributions of ages of male and female passengers on the cruise.
    State the values of any statistics you have used to support your comment.
    (1) Anja, along with her 2 daughters and a granddaughter, now join the cruise.
    Anja's granddaughter is younger than both of Anja's daughters.
    Anja had her 23rd birthday on the day her eldest daughter was born.
    When their 4 ages are included with the other female passengers on the cruise, the box plot does not change.
  6. State, giving reasons, what you can say about
    1. the granddaughter's age
    2. Anja's age.
      (3)
