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.

[@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_name]

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

[@monkeyest_monkie]

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!!

[@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

[@melstunnelvisionn23]

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

[@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!

[@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!

[@katiehernandez_]

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

[@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!

[@ecollison1193]

Your videos are amazing you just taught me in 8 minutes how to use this and my teacher couldn't teach me in 50 minutes🎉

[@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.

[@Jadey_waydey]

Its crazy how I didn’t understand any of this in math class it was so confusing but now thanks to him I learned it in like 30 minutes and NOW I’m getting it and im ready to take the math test 🎉

[@maanvikt]

you are a great tutor, this video helped me a lot thank you. 😀

[@SocksforMemes]

I was preparing for IB when I saw your video. Great video! Keep going!

[@Shanegaming6732]

Tyy test is literally tomorrow ❤

[@taugenemorris8818]

Now THIS is what I'm talking about. Thanks for such a helpful and informational video!!!!

[@Ratz..dolls0_0]

I was forced to watch this video when I already knew how to read a box and whisker plot, but this honestly made understand it even more.

[@pinkgirrafelove3494]

We just learned this in class a few days ago! This helps me understand it more too

[@kora.loves.taylorswift]

hope it’s ok to ask, what grade r u in?

[@kdlspk]

@@kora.loves.taylorswift Safe to assume 8th grade or 9th

[@jasonangelini3373]

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

[@aksharaarrepu8780]

this is 7th grade math I think,so safe to say she or he is in 7th😁

[@pinkgirrafelove3494]

Yea I was in 7th

[@babyrheacentillas7084]

How cool is that learning this in less than 30 minutes. I've been thinking this box and whisker plot for days now because we have an academic reporting and I don't understand this one. This video helps me so much thank you!

[@Sambar_Gaming]

Savin me the day before my exam. Thank you so much!!!!

[@warrior3186]

Thank you so much Mr jay! I learned in less then 10 mins, Just for that you deserve a subscribe Keep up the work!

Tyyyy I haven’t done this since sixth grade and I needed it for my test today

[@gauravshrivastava7768]

What? Was it that easy? I had nightmares understanding this earlier.

We don’t care

[@lilandch4rr]

tysm for this my teacher wouldn't explain but you did in less than 8 mins :) god bless

[@DarthCoco]

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!

[@MathwithMrJ]

You’re very welcome! I’m happy to hear you felt the explanation was clear. That feedback means a lot. I appreciate you taking the time to comment!

[@El_Dude_ZoZo]

Thanks for teaching me lots of new things you are even better than my teacher in school

Im so happy you started this channel you really helped me out with the box plots i did not understand it but know i do so i would like to thank you for your help you just earned your self a new subcriber thank you.

[@joysteeleharris40]

You made that very clear and easy to understand. Thank you so much!

You’re very welcome!

[@OdayaGuzman]

Thank you! The information provided was straightforward and easy to understand

[@cynthiamao2811]

Thank you so much for your help! I was really confused, but this helped a lot, I really appreciate it!😄

[@cosmo9378]

Mr Jayoma thank you my glorious king

[@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.

[@evanlipscomb6769]

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

[@montasermouad1953]

Nobody cares

[@bubuwinnie2009]

It's so clear and well explained!! Thank u!!!!

[@armagreggen6681]

Thank you for all that you do! I am 38 and I’m trying to get into nursing school. Is there any way you can lump sum the math for what is on the TEAS test?

[@TheoriginalYanda]

Thank you so much! I missed school but needed this lesson for a test and you explained it perfectly!

[@MohammedSabry-oi9pp]

Thank you sooo much for this video

[@lazxypotz]

YOUR THE BESTSTT

[@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

[@proud_indian0161]

very good explanation.

[@StephanieVera-fk8wh]

ILY MR J

[@user-co7mb6rh4r]

Just recently introduced to box plots. Is there a simple way of creating a line joining the mean value across multiple data ranges. I.e Month on month ( that doesn’t involve ggplot or anything else too technical 😂 )

[@martharobinson6147]

WOW, so simple to understand, thank you. I subscribed right away 👍

[@rionrg]

You are awesome!!

[@user-eo3zv8je4e]

It took me whole semester without understanding such easy thing😂

[@MelakM-or7ff]

The way I find the exact middle of two numbers is that I take the difference the divide that by two then add that to the minimum

Had to help my sis with mean, median, mode, and range for her homework. Then we got to box plots which I have never seen prior to now. I get now tho

[@Sir_Guts]

Thank you so much because your channel has been helping me learn math in schools so thank you for that

Is it possible to have three quartiles? On my homework it says: Min, Max, Q1, Q2, Q3.

[@user-ko8sl9ws5x]

Q2 is just median

[@aaliyahfrancisco7722]

bro teaches better than my irl math teacher

[@ray_maniaa]

My question is what is the point of box and whisker plots? Like why is data presented like that

[@zapatobama8301]

do we need to keep the duplicated data? i mean the number 3 is repeated.

[@maciejkopczynski55]

yes, we do. Duplicates are in this case valid data points that affect our distribution.

[@zapatobama8301]

how do we solve this ? Consider the following set of data; 0.87, 0.88, 0.91, 0.92, 0.86, 0.91, 0.90, 0.93, 0.82, 0.89, 0.87 Construct and interpret a box-and-whisker plot for this data

[@user-iu3vx8pc5x]

preparing me for my eog,THANK YOU
