Description
This course, Interpreting data: Boxplots and tables, is concerned with two main topics. In Section 1, you will learn about another kind of graphical display, the boxplot. A boxplot is a fairly simple graphic, which displays certain summary statistics of a set of data.
Course learning outcomes
After studying this course, you should be able to:
- Understand and use the following terms: boxplots, box, whisker, upper and lower adjacent values, rate, time series, line plot
- Demonstrate an awareness of the idea that the general pattern of a set of data, in terms of location, dispersion and skewness, can be graphically represented in a boxplot
- Understand that boxplots can be used to provide a quick and simple comparison of data sets
- Understand that patterns in tabular data can be made clearer by leaving out unhelpful information, by including extra pieces of useful information, or by drawing appropriate graphs
- Describe and compare data sets on the basis of boxplots.
