<h3>Worked Example 1</h3>
<p>First we will tell R to generate a sequence.</p>
This is how you generate a sequence of numbers from 1 to 100 where the terms increase by 1.
<div class="tutorial-exercise" data-label="chunk11" data-caption="Code" data-completion="1" data-diagnostics="1" data-startover="1" data-lines="0">
<pre class="text"><code>seq(from=1,to=100,by=1)</code></pre>

</div>
<p>Use the above example R code in chunk1 to generate the following sequences. Remember to edit the numbers in the code.</p>

<h3>What is a box plot</h3>
<p>A box plot is a way to show the shape or distribution of a set of data. It shows five useful features of the data, known as the five number summary.</p>
<p>Minimum - the smallest value Maximum - the largest value<br />
Median - the middle or 50% value<br />
Lower quartile - the value half way between the minimum and the median or 25% value<br />
Upper quartile - the value half way between the median and the maximum or 75% value<br />
</p>
<p>The difference between the upper and lower quartile is known as the inter-quartile range (IQR)</p>

<h3>Worked Example 1</h3>
<p>Zaynab keeps a record of her journey times to school each morning. The times are to the nearest minute:</p>
<p>29,21,16,25,21,19,18,30,21,21,12,26,19,21,20,19,30,29,16,21,18,18,27,18,20</p>
<p>Let us draw a box plot and obtain the five number summary and the inter-quartile range (IQR). We will do this in three steps.</p>
<p>The R code in chunk1 tells R to store all the times into a variable called y and then to use these times to draw a box plot of the data.</p>
<div class="tutorial-exercise" data-label="chunk43" data-caption="Code" data-completion="1" data-diagnostics="1" data-startover="1" data-lines="0">

<p>To help us read values from the box plot it is useful to have gridlines on the plot.<br />
Here is a simple trick to get gridlines on the plot.</p>
<p>The code in chunk2 tells R to use the numbers it store in variable y to draw a box plot and then to add grid lines.</p>
<p>Click on the little arrow on the right of the code chunk. The box plot will be drawn below the chunk.</p>
