What is the minimum?

The smallest number in the data set

100

What is the maximum?

The largest number in the dataset

100

Slide 1: What should the red box be labeled?

Hint: these lables will be stuff from the vocab section

Outliers

100

What does IQR stand for?

Inter-quartile range

100
please show me how to find a box and whisker plot on Rguroo

plots --> box plot --> input the data

200

What is an outlier?

a data point on a graph or in a set of results that is very much bigger or smaller than the next nearest data point.
200

What is the median?

The middle of the data set (the middle-most value)

200

Slide 2: What should the red box be labeled?

Minimum

200

How do I find the IQR?

Q3-Q1

200

Show me the IQR for this dataset 

1,2,4,7,16,3,4,8,53,67,23,57,35,23

31

300

What is the lower quartile?

The median of the bottom half of the data

300

What is the upper quartile?

The median of the top half of the data

300

Slide 3: What should the red box be labeled?

Median

300

What does the IQR represent? 

The distance covered by the middle 50% of values

300

Show me an example of an investigation with 2 variables (like sudoku) and tell me whether it is an experiment or observational study

(anything with 2 variables)

400

What symbol/abbreviation represents the lower quartile

Q1

400

What symbol/abbreviation represents the upper quartile?

Q3

400

Slide 4: What should the red box be labeled?

Q1 (first quartile/lower quartile)

400

How do I find the lower and upper fences for my outlier cutoff? (the equation)

  • Lower Fence: Q1-1.5*(IQR)

  • Upper Fence: Q3+1.5*(IQR)

400

Calculate the upper and lower bound for this data

1,2,4,7,16,3,4,8,53,67,23,57,35,23

(-42.5, 81.5)

500

Does minimum/maximum value include outliers?

No

500

get 2-3 minutes to answer....

Come up with a good strategy/pneumonic device/chart for remembering some of the vocab (could be related to IQR, box plots, vocab, or other statistics things)

Best answer gets the win!

Ill give some points tho if the second group does really well too

500

Slide 5: What should the red box be labeled?

IQR

500

Where is my IQR most useful for this class (how do we use IQR)?

Finding out where the cutoff is for my outliers

500
