Seven ways to organized data
Dot Plot Stem and leaf Histograms Line graph pie chart pictography Bar graph
Dot plot
Placing dots above a number line
Stem and leaf
are often vertical and are particular useful for comparing two small sets of data
Histograms
summarize large sets of numeric data that can be naturally grouped into numeric intervals
Line graph

Three ways to measure “spread” and “variability” data
Range is the difference between the largest and smallest data value
Mid range is the lowest and highest data points divided by2
Interquartile range
IQR- is the middle 50 percent of the data value, from the lower to the upper quartile value Qu-QL=
Outliers
Ql-(1.5*IQR)
Qu+(1.5*IQR)
