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, median, third quartile, and maximum.

Front

What does the 'minimum' value represent in a Box and Whisker Plot?

Back

The minimum value is the smallest data point in the dataset.

Front

What does the 'maximum' value represent in a Box and Whisker Plot?

Back

The maximum value is the largest data point in the dataset.

Front

What is the median in a dataset?

Back

The median is the middle value when the data points are arranged in ascending order.

Front

What is the 'lower quartile'?

Back

The lower quartile (Q1) is the median of the lower half of the dataset.

Front

What is the 'upper quartile'?

Back

The upper quartile (Q3) is the median of the upper half of the dataset.

Front

How do you find the median of a dataset with an even number of values?

Back

To find the median, average the two middle values.

Front

What do the 'whiskers' in a Box and Whisker Plot represent?

Back

The whiskers represent the range of the data, extending from the minimum to the maximum values.

Front

What is the interquartile range (IQR)?

Back

The interquartile range (IQR) is the difference between the upper quartile (Q3) and the lower quartile (Q1).

Front

How do you calculate the IQR?

Back

IQR = Q3 - Q1.
