Box Plot

A boxplot visually represents data distribution using five key statistics: minimum, first quartile (Q1), median (Q2), third quartile (Q3), and maximum. The document explains how to create a box plot using cricket match scores, detailing steps to arrange data, find quartiles, compute the interquartile range (IQR), and identify outliers. The final box plot is based on calculated limits and identified values.

Boxplot:

 Minimum: The smallest non-outlier value shown at the lower whisker end.

 First Quartile (Q1): The value below which 25% of the data lies.

 Median (Q2): The middle value that splits the data into two equal halves.

 Third Quartile (Q3): The value below which 75% of the data lies.

 Maximum: The largest non-outlier value shown at the upper whisker end.

How to Create a Box Plot

Consider the runs scored by a cricket team in 12 matches: 100, 120, 110, 150, 110, 140, 130, 170,
120, 220, 140, 110

Step 1: Arrange Data in Ascending Order

 100, 110, 110, 110, 120, 120, 130, 140, 140, 150, 170, 220

Step 2: Find Quartiles and Median

120+130
 Median (Q2 )= =125
2
110+110
 Q1=Median of first 6 values= =110
2
140+150
 Q 3=Median of last 6 values= =145
2
Step 3: Compute IQR

 IQR=145−110=35
Step 4: Calculate Limits

 Lower Limit =110−1.5× 35=57.5


 Upper Limit=145+1.5 ×35=197.5
Step 5: Identify Min, Max and Outliers

 Minimum (within limit) = 100

 Maximum (within limit) = 170

 Outlier = 220

This information is then used to draw the box plot.
