如何计算Box Plot
learn.whatIsHeading
A box plot (box-and-whisker plot) visualises the distribution of data using five statistics: minimum, Q1, median, Q3, and maximum. Outliers are shown as individual points beyond 1.5×IQR from the quartiles.
公式
Q1 = 25th percentile, Q2 (median) = 50th, Q3 = 75th; IQR = Q3 − Q1
- Min
- minimum value
- Q1
- first quartile (25th percentile)
- Q2
- median (50th percentile)
- Q3
- third quartile (75th percentile)
- Max
- maximum value
- IQR
- interquartile range — Q3 − Q1
分步指南
- 1Q2 (median): middle value of sorted data
- 2Q1: median of lower half
- 3Q3: median of upper half
- 4IQR = Q3 − Q1; outlier threshold = 1.5×IQR
例题解析
输入
Data: 2,4,5,7,8,9,11,13
结果
Min=2, Q1=4.5, Med=7.5, Q3=10, Max=13
输入
IQR = 5.5, outlier threshold = 8.25 from quartiles
结果
Any value < −3.75 or > 18.25 is an outlier
常见问题
What is a boxplot used for?
Boxplots visualize the distribution, spread, and outliers of data at a glance.
How are outliers determined in a boxplot?
Points beyond 1.5×IQR from Q1 or Q3 are typically marked as outliers.
Is the median always at the center of the box?
No, the line inside the box shows the median's position relative to Q1 and Q3, reflecting data skewness.
