Box plot question

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

   Just had a quick question. Is it possible to show the mean, in addition to the median, on a bloxplot which has been drawn with SPSS. If so, how is this possible?

Thanks,
Umer

	Hi Umer, It was a good question. Actually the graph boxplot means= it gives the 5 figure statistics that is minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, and maximum. Although you have an option of element properties where u can change the median or mean or like other statistics ....etc. But those u change it for the y axis and after that when u plot u again get the median with respect to the Y axis. I hope u can understand. Regards, Rajesh M S
