How do you interpret a box-and-whisker plot?

Back

A box-and-whisker plot displays the distribution of a dataset based on five summary statistics: minimum, first quartile (Q1), median, third quartile (Q3), and maximum.

What is the median in a dataset?

Back

The median is the middle value of a dataset when it is ordered from least to greatest. If there is an even number of observations, the median is the average of the two middle numbers.

What is a quartile in statistics?

Back

A quartile is a type of quantile that divides a dataset into four equal parts, with Q1 being the first quartile (25th percentile), Q2 the median (50th percentile), and Q3 the third quartile (75th percentile).

What is the significance of the lower quartile (Q1)?

Back

The lower quartile (Q1) represents the value below which 25% of the data falls, indicating the lower end of the data distribution.
