Is this some kind of cute cat video? No! Box and whisker plots seek to explain data by showing a spread of all the data points in a sample. The "whiskers" are the two opposite ends of the data. This video is more fun than a handful of catnip.

Probability and statistics on Khan Academy: We dare you to go through a day in which you never consider or use probability. Did you check the weather forecast? Busted! Did you decide to go through the drive through lane vs walk in? Busted again! We are constantly creating hypotheses, making predictions, testing, and analyzing. Our lives are full of probabilities! Statistics is related to probability because much of the data we use when determining probable outcomes comes from our understanding of statistics. In these tutorials, we will cover a range of topics, some which include: independent events, dependent probability, combinatorics, hypothesis testing, descriptive statistics, random variables, probability distributions, regression, and inferential statistics. So buckle up and hop on for a wild ride. We bet you're going to be challenged AND love it!
About Khan Academy: Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom. We tackle math, science, computer programming, history, art history, economics, and more. Our math missions guide learners from kindergarten to calculus using state-of-the-art, adaptive technology that identifies strengths and learning gaps. We've also partnered with institutions like NASA, The Museum of Modern Art, The California Academy of Sciences, and MIT to offer specialized content.

Thanks so much, my 7'th grade math teacher never taught us this and out of nowhere we're using it in 9'th grade... I was so confused during class -_-

You guys should be proud of your school, I'm here trying to be a data scientist learning this without knowing it in highschool

It is possible to solve the question, what is the median, and what is the number that represents the lower quartile and the upper quartile in the question:34,35,36,38,40,42,42,43,45,50,55,65

box and whiskers don't have to cover every data point. They sometimes ignore extreme outliers so you can't get the range by just looking at the whiskers.

[@pranayp1950]

Me 7 years later : That is correct !

What? Then what's the point of having whiskers?

Most of the trees are younger because the median is close to the left.

[@thisismsid9999]

When am I ever going to actually use this in real life?

[@topsui]

I think that's the most asked question for most high school students..

[@thisismsid9999]

topsui i swear, the only job that uses algebra is an algebra teacher

[@topsui]

msid9999 How old are you? Im just curious. Because you use algebra for other branches of math when you get older so it does get harder. For example, calculus.

[@thisismsid9999]

topsui 14 in high school, I skipped a grade

[@topsui]

msid9999 Okay. I'm 18 and at uni doing mechanical engineering so from my point of view, I can see what I use algebra for. For you its actually really basic math that will expand. So hang in there, if you do want to do something in the future with math, like engineering or something else, you'll soon understand why you use it for and why its important to what your studying.

[@K4X1]

can you explain it better? i did not get anything

[@carterpierce9270]

WRONG!!!! STUDENTS GO ELSEWHERE!!!! This is egregious!!!! A quarter is not the same thing as a quartile. The first quartile is EXACTLY the 25th percentile (NOT an interval), which is the lower hinge (14 in video). The second quartile is EXACTLY the 50th percentile aka median (21 in the video). The 3rd quartile is EXACTLY the 75th percentile, which is the upper hinge (33 in the video). THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS "THE 4th QUARTILE!!!! The intervals shown in this video are to be called QUARTERS, and quarters ONLY. The "end of the left whisker" is called the LOWER ADJACENT (do not refer to them as ends of the whiskers). The "end of the right whisker" is called the UPPER ADJACENT.
