Figure 2.9 Quantile Box Plot<br />

90% quantile<br />

10% quantile<br />

Quantiles are values where the pth quantile is larger than p% of the values. For example, 10% of the data lies<br />

below the 10th quantile, <strong>and</strong> 90% of the data lies below the 90th quantile.<br />

Stem <strong>and</strong> Leaf<br />

Each line of the plot has a Stem value that is the leading digit of a range of column values. The Leaf values<br />

are made from the next-in-line digits of the values. You can see the data point by joining the stem <strong>and</strong> leaf.<br />

In some cases, the numbers on the stem <strong>and</strong> leaf plot are rounded versions of the actual data in the table.<br />

The stem-<strong>and</strong>-leaf plot actively responds to clicking <strong>and</strong> the brush tool.<br />

Note: The stem-<strong>and</strong>-leaf plot does not support fractional frequencies.<br />

CDF Plot<br />

The CDF plot creates a plot of the empirical cumulative distribution function. Use the CDF plot to<br />

determine the percent of data that is at or below a given value on the x-axis.
