11/20 AMDM Box-and-Whiskers Plot Practice

Front

What are the five points in the five-number summary used to create a box plot?

Back

Minimum, First Quartile (Q1), Median, Third Quartile (Q3), Maximum.

Front

What does the median represent in a box plot?

Back

The median is the middle value of the dataset, dividing it into two equal halves.

Front

How is the interquartile range (IQR) calculated?

Back

IQR is calculated as Q3 - Q1, representing the range of the middle 50% of the data.

Front

What does the 'box' in a box plot represent?

Back

The 'box' represents the interquartile range (IQR), which contains the middle 50% of the data.

Front

What does point C on a box plot indicate?

Back

Point C indicates the median of the dataset.

Front

What is the significance of the whiskers in a box plot?

Back

The whiskers extend from the box to the smallest and largest values within 1.5 times the IQR from the quartiles.

Front

What does a box plot visually represent?

Back

A box plot visually represents the distribution of a dataset, highlighting its central tendency and variability.

Front

What is the purpose of a box plot?

Back

The purpose of a box plot is to summarize a dataset and identify outliers.

Front

What is an outlier in the context of a box plot?

Back

An outlier is a data point that lies outside 1.5 times the IQR above Q3 or below Q1.

Front

How do you identify the maximum value in a box plot?

Back

The maximum value is represented by the endpoint of the upper whisker, unless there are outliers.
