The five-number summary is a statistical method used to describe the distribution of a dataset. It consists of five values: the minimum, the first quartile (Q1), the median, the third quartile (Q3), and the maximum. The five-number summary provides a quick and easy way to summarize the central tendency and spread of a dataset.
To find the five-number summary, you first need to order the data from least to greatest. Once you have the data in order, you can identify the minimum and maximum values. The median is the middle value in the dataset. Q1 is the median of the lower half of the data, and Q3 is the median of the upper half of the data.
