A statistical question you can ask at least 20 different people can be: "How many pets do you have?"
An hypothetical data for the number of pets 20 sixth graders have has been given and the box plot that displays the data set is in the image below.
<h3>What is a Statistical Question?</h3>A statistical question can be defined as a question that can be answered by collecting a variety of numerical answers that vary. Examples of statistical questions include:
- What are the age of students in my class?
- What are the heights of students in a class?
A statistical question you can ask at least 20 different people can be: "How many pets do you have?"
Below is the hypothetical questions that can be assumed you'd get from two people:
0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 5
Description of the people you asked can be: 20 sixth graders in your school.
How you gathered your data can be: Asking them to fill a questionnaire or by interview.
The numerical data from least to the greatest, hypothetically would be:
0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 5
The five-number summary for the hypothetical data would be:
Minimum: 0 (least data point)
Quartile Q1: 1 (middle of the first half of the data distribution)
Median: 1.5 (center of the data)
Quartile Q3: 2.75 (middle of the second half of the data distribution)
Maximum: 5 (greatest data value).
Using the five-number summary generated, the box plot that displays the data set is shown in the image attached below.
