box plots

  • Q2 = median

  • Q1 = median of first quartile (first 50%)

  • Q3= median of second quartile

  • Min, Q1, Q2, Q3, max = five number summary

  • Interquartile range (iqr) = Q3 - Q1

  • Regular boxplots do not show outliers

  • Lower cutoff = Q1 - 1.5(IQR)

  • Upper cutoff = Q3 + 1.5(IQR)

  • Any values beyond cutoffs are outliers

  • Modified boxplot = boxplot - outliers (max and min are assigned to closest data points if originals are outliers)
