If you don't want to line students up at the board and measure their heights to quickly create box plots, then do a simple heart rate experiment -- take sitting pulse and record, then take pulse after 30 seconds ofd jumping jacks and record. You'll get two box plots with outliers, you'll have the fun of deciding what to do with the Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242439961617529545.post-10233923627449661422023-01-05T20:36:09.714+00:002023-01-05T20:36:09.714+00:00I do human box plots -- but not the way you descri...I do human box plots -- but not the way you describe them. Instead, every student comes up to the front of the room and we mark in a vertical line on the white board where the top of that student's head is. Once all the marks are on the board, we find the five number summary. This also prevents lots of tittering about the unforunate shortest and tallest students.<br /><br />In my opinion Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242439961617529545.post-9210172625733138932017-05-25T09:46:59.125+01:002017-05-25T09:46:59.125+01:00Nice post, thanks for sharing.

It's always useful to know who invented/discovered various concepts and I like seeing where box and whisker plots are used (or have been used).<br /><br />I knew that there would be a formula for working out which data would be classed as outliers, but couldn't remember it (not something I use every week!).
