2.2.7: Box Plot Demo: Instructions

This document describes a box plot simulation and how to use it. The simulation displays a box plot based on data shown to the left. It labels different aspects of the box plot like the mean and median. Users can modify the data, add outliers, and redraw the box plot. The goal is to understand how changing the data affects the shape and measures of the box plot.

7: Box Plot Demo


Learning Objectives
Understand what it means for a distribution to balance on a fulcrum
Learn which measure of central tendency will balance a distribution

Instructions
The box plot in the simulation is based on the data shown to the left of the box plot.
Notice that various aspects of the box plot such as the mean and median are labeled.
These labels can be hidden by unchecking the "show labels on box plot" button.
Beneath the data is a pair of buttons that let you specify whether you want to be able to enter data or to see statistics
based on the data.
When you use the simulation, try to modify the data in various ways and see how it affects the box plot.
Try putting in some extreme values and see if they get labeled as outliers.
Outside values are shown as "o s " beyond the inner fence.
′

Far out values are shown as ∗ s outside the outer fence.


′

You can delete all the data (by pressing the "Clear All button") and enter your own data.
Your data can be typed in or pasted in from another application.
When pasting, use keyboard shortcut for pasting (Command-V for Mac, CTRL-V for Windows).
When you change the data, the box plot will disappear.
After you have entered new data, click the "Draw box plot" button to redraw the box plot.

Illustrated Instructions
The screenshot below shows the box plot simulation with its default data on the left.

You can change some or all of the data on the left by editing individual numbers or pasting in your own data. When
pasting, you must use the keyboard shortcut for pasting (Command-V for Mac, CTRL-V for Windows).
