How do you interpret a histogram?

Back

A histogram is a graphical representation of the distribution of numerical data, where the data is divided into bins or intervals. The height of each bar represents the frequency of data points within that interval.

How can you identify outliers in a box plot?

Back

Outliers in a box plot are typically represented as individual points that fall outside the whiskers, which extend to 1.5 times the interquartile range (IQR) from the quartiles.

Front

What does the median represent in a dataset?

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.

What is the interquartile range (IQR)?

Back

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