Ty for helping

[@neanea1035]

How many years of experience do u have sir? Seems like you have been teaching for a decade :)

[@PrissT2040]

I literally yelled hallelujah when I saw that you had a guide to Box and Whisker Plots. My daughter waited until I got home to ask me how to do this and I looked at her notes and was so confused. Lol. I knew that I could count on you and you wouldn't let me down. As soon as you began explaining it I saw the light bulb come on for my daughter. Thanks for always having awesome videos for us to fall back on. God bless you.

[@MathwithMrJ]

Wow, awesome! Love this comment and love to hear that this video was helpful. The “light bulb” is always a great thing. I really appreciate the positive feedback and you taking the time to comment.

[@alenayakubina9718]

Awesome video bro I hope god helps me with the exam

[@FM-pl7sf]

Thank you so much for explaining this in such a perfectly visual way! This wasn't in my book and the instructor just jumped into these and I was ready to cry. NOW I get it!

[@Gust658]

It's crazy how my teacher said it takes like 2-3 days to teach this yet I learned in like 30 minutes.

[@robinlee604]

You got to consider how many students there are in a class. How concentrate the students are in classroom. The willingness of learning of those students. The background knowledge those students have. There are many factors effecting school learning.

[@AtrusGambit]

Teaching moves just a bit faster than the slowest 3 kids in class. Two days is actually a pretty good pace for this collection of concepts for a classroom. You'll have kids that will need to be taught how to find averages, and that's as far as they can get with that lesson.

[@kaiab.-wx8mz]

I’m in class rn and my teacher didn’t even teach it ☠️

[@The_nick_name2]

They probably didn’t teach it because “You probably won’t see it again” -my sixth grade teacher unless you were in like 2 things I forgot

[@montasermouad1953]

We don’t care

[@katiehernandez_]

I'm so glad you started this channel.❤It helps so many people be good at math.

[@matt_jeevas07]

this makes so much sense now!! i was struggling in school and so i googled ‘box and whisker plots’ and one of ur videos popped up and i immediately knew i would understand when i clicked. thank you for helping!!

[@isabella_hiii]

Thank you so much for this video. My math teacher does not explain anything well (he is on the older side) This helped me and I got a 92 on my math test!

[@chuckjrs0402]

Mr. J, your videos have been a huge part of my kid's education for the past 4 years. She was on home hospital for a good chunck of that time and these videos are great. They are so well explained. She's texting me for a Mr. J video while in class at this very moment and I found this one. Thank you for having soooo many videos available for free. Your knowledge in math is helping so many people out there who are lost with common core just like me and I did take college math yrs ago. A million thank yous!!!

[@lanebockenstedt6497]

this video saved my life i’m currently 20 years old and completely forgot how to do this i have my aleks test coming up and this video helped me understand how to look at these THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@MathwithMrJ]

You’re very welcome! Glad to hear this helped. Thank you for the comment!

[@amrhendawy-zx4by]

Mr.J is always here to clutch up no matter what hes always the last resort and the best one he never fails to clutch up

[@gregoryforsterjr8365]

I am so glad I found this. We didn't learn this at the time I got my MAT. Now. I can explain it with any 6th or 7th grader that I tutor. Thank you.

[@badsmartyr]

Thank you Mr.J! This really helped me understand box plots a lot more and makes me more confident for my state testing! 😊

[@jasonangelini3373]

@@kora.loves.taylorswift i would think 7th

[@aksharaarrepu8780]

[@pinkgirrafelove3494]

Yea I was in 7th

That was so clear and felt so genuinely explained. Sounded like something that could have alot to it early on, but not as hard as I assumed, and I look forward to applying and understanding it, going forward. Thanks!

[@adenvanderriet9848]

Fax lmao (i live in south africa)

[@evanlipscomb6769]

Thanks! Im being homeschooled and needed to understand this! This helped a lot. Keep it up! :)

[@montasermouad1953]

Nobody cares

[@berkcanhafizoglu8032]

Isn't the upper whisker limit should be 1.5*IQR + Q3 rather than maximum? In this case the upper whisker should be 19.5, not 18 right? Same applies for the lower whisker

[@MathwithMrJ]

Yes, that is also correct. Using the minimum and maximum is a more straightforward approach, but again, that way will work as well.

[@maciejkopczynski55]

even if you decide to take the IQR approach it doesn’t necessarily have to be 1.5 IQR + Q3. It is the upper boundary. In our case, it already exceeds the maximum value so the max whisker would either way be 18. The same applies to the minimum whisker.

[@MohammedA.Zaghbr]

i guess i get box and whisker plots now kinda thanks. 🤜🤛👏

[@mayaheler]

THX, what about outliers, how we get them? how we decide how is an outliers?

[@c4rii]

outlier would be 10, 12, 16,21 the outlier is 21 because theres a big difference between 21 and the other numbers

[@sherriroyes4392]

You are a King! Thank you.

[@MsJobie1]

[@LITERALLYJUSTAHUMANHYUGU]

Thanks for posting this video i really wanted it today I have an exam about it. Tysm Mr.J

[@lioneldodzo1800]

Hello so what if the numbers are evenly splitted for example we have 1 to 5 our median is 3 and are looking for lower quartile is it going to 2 or something else

very helpful. your voice is clear and straight to the point, however you spent the first minute explaining in extraneous and pointless detail about the purpose of a graph, as if this video was a 10000 word essay.
