What is a Box and Whisker Plot?

Back

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

Front

What does the lower quartile (Q1) represent in a Box and Whisker Plot?

Back

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

Front

What does the upper quartile (Q3) represent in a Box and Whisker Plot?

Back

The upper quartile (Q3) represents the value below which 75% of the data falls.

Front

What is the median in a Box and Whisker Plot?

Back

The median is the middle value of the dataset when it is ordered from least to greatest.

Front

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

Back

The 'whiskers' indicate the range of the data, specifically the minimum and maximum values.

Back

The minimum value is the smallest number in the dataset.

Front

Back

The maximum value is the largest number in the dataset.

Front

What is the purpose of a Box and Whisker Plot?

Front

How can you identify outliers in a Box and Whisker Plot?

Back

Outliers can be identified as points that fall outside the range defined by the whiskers.

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), representing the middle 50% of the data.
