What is a Box and Whisker Plot?

Back

A Box and Whisker Plot is a graphical representation of a dataset that displays its minimum, first quartile (Q1), median, third quartile (Q3), and maximum values.

Front

What does the median represent in a Box and Whisker Plot?

Back

The median is the middle value of a dataset when it is ordered from least to greatest, dividing the dataset into two equal halves.

Front

How do you find the range of a dataset?

Back

The range is found by subtracting the minimum value from the maximum value in the dataset.

Front

What is the Interquartile Range (IQR)?

Back

The IQR is the difference between the third quartile (Q3) and the first quartile (Q1), representing the middle 50% of the data.

Front

What does a longer whisker indicate in a Box and Whisker Plot?

Back

A longer whisker indicates a greater spread of data points outside the quartiles, suggesting more variability in the dataset.

Front

What is the purpose of a Box and Whisker Plot?

Back

The purpose is to summarize and visualize the distribution, central tendency, and variability of a dataset.

Front

How can you determine which class has a higher median using Box and Whisker Plots?

Back

By comparing the median lines within the boxes of each class's plot.

Front

What does it mean if a Box and Whisker Plot is skewed to the right?

Back

It indicates that the majority of the data points are concentrated on the left side, with a few higher values stretching the tail to the right.

Front

What is the significance of the quartiles in a Box and Whisker Plot?

Back

Quartiles divide the dataset into four equal parts, helping to understand the distribution and spread of the data.

Front

How do you interpret the minimum and maximum values in a Box and Whisker Plot?

Back

The minimum value is the lowest data point, while the maximum value is the highest data point in the dataset.
