Five-Number Summaries on MINITAB

5 min read

This Discussion is worth a maximum of 10 points. You′ll get 5 points for participating. Your instructor will give you another 5 points if you post a follow-up comment or question that furthers the Discussion. You′ve been using box-and-whisker plots and five-number summaries created by hand and by your calculator. Now you′ll look at the output of a common statistical program called MINITAB. Before entering the discussion, read the examples of MINITAB output found in the study sheet, respond to one or more of the questions below, or respond to a fellow student′s answer. Describe the shape of either the raisin or tree distribution in terms of skewness and outliers. Why does the distribution of tree ages have an outlier, while the distribution of the number of raisins in a full 14-ounce box of raisins does not? What is it about the nature of each situation that makes an outlier more likely in one and less likely in the other? When would you use the TI-83 to create box plots, and when would you use a computer? Invent a scenario that seems to fit one of the data sets used in this Discussion, and explain why the data set is shaped as it is (why it is or isn′t skewed, why it does or doesn′t have outliers).
