Interpreting box plots | Data and statistics | 6th grade | Khan Academy

Grade 6th on Khan Academy: By the 6th grade, you're becoming a sophisticated mathemagician. You'll be able to add, subtract, multiply, and divide any non-negative numbers (including decimals and fractions) that any grumpy ogre throws at you. Mind-blowing ideas like exponents (you saw these briefly in the 5th grade), ratios, percents, negative numbers, and variable expressions will start being in your comfort zone. Most importantly, the algebraic side of mathematics is a whole new kind of fun! And if that is not enough, we are going to continue with our understanding of ideas like the coordinate plane (from 5th grade) and area while beginning to derive meaning from data! (Content was selected for this grade level based on a typical curriculum in the United States.)

About Khan Academy: Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom.

Are 6th graders learning this now?? When I was in 6th grade, YEAAAARS ago, we never did anything like this. I'm taking Statistics in college and am going over this for the first time in my life and as an older student, I'm struggling!! Thank you Khan Academy for all your help. You are saving my life when it comes to math classes while I'm in college!!!

Imagine being the 16-year-old at a party where there's a 7 year old kid

I am paying over $45k just for tuition per year in college, and the purpose for that just about to study the 6th grade math LMAO!!! but thx Khan for the explaination tho

[Jayawina]

Me a 26th years old revisiting this 6th grade math! Thanks Khan!

[deltawhiskey]

Sal Khan must have serious expectations in order for this to be for 6 grade

[ireallydontknow]

People be commenting that they learned this in 6th grade, and here am I one day before my 8th grade unit test trying to understand this😂

[truelyuncommon]

These teachers are killing me how do I do this (6th grade)

[animatrix]

Fantastic video as always! Crazy to think this is taught at 6th grade as I don't even remember this in high school.

Hello Khan, for the last question it would have been true if you said "older or equal to 13 years old"

Since we sort the data in ascending order, values above the 50 th percentile should be greater or equal to the median value

Exemple:
We do have the following data in a list : (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 13, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

Q2 value = 13 ( 8 th value in the list)
Q3 value = 16 (12 th value in the list)
Q1 value = 9 (4 th value in the list)
We see that some values above the Q2 is equal to 13 not only greater than 13

Khan's last question would have been true if he said " Exactly half of the students are 13 years old or older for an even number of points"

Thanks.

This is it, I'm so pissed. I don't care about interpreting the Box and Whiskers plot. Can you even explain what that is? I don't even know what a box plot is.

I love everything you post. You are the biggest help ever :)

[spaminator]

I’m going into accelerated math for 6th grade next year, and this video was very helpful! Thank you so much 😊!

[elleellelleelle]

I learnt this in 6th grade a few months ago but forgot everything and needed to watch this video again hahaha that's for the refresh it helped a lot!

[MspHerrehschanel]

Why aren't half of the students over 13? I thought the last quartiles would make up 50% of the values?

[taihatranduc]

Thank you for making this video. but grade 6? I'm in college. I still don't know about this. This is my mind-blowing

[livingwithliv]

I'm in 6th grade, and not used to all these confusing "whisker plots" and "box plots". It's really confusing to me whenever the my teacher explained it. This really helped me. Thanks! :)

[taryntrail]

Everyone is in 6th grade while I’m in 9th grade algebra freaking out Bc I have to explain it to my teacher 😂

[steezyjubes]

When you said that is the Q2 at (1:05), it is actually Q1 no? Q2 is also known as the median so it would be located at 13.

Very beautiful solution Mr. Salvatore !
