Learning Objective
I can calculate and interpret the five number summary, range, and interquartile range of a data set.
- 1
The five-number summary includes the minimum value, first quartile (Q1), median (Q2), third quartile (Q3), and maximum value.
- 2
The quartiles divide a data set into four equal parts, where Q1 is the 25th percentile, Q2 is the 50th percentile, and Q3 is the 75th percentile.
- 3
The range is the difference between the maximum and minimum values, while the interquartile range (IQR) is the difference between Q3 and Q1.
