Front

What is a box plot?

Back

A box plot is a graphical representation of a dataset that shows its minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, and maximum values.

Front

What is a dot plot?

Back

A dot plot is a simple graphical display that uses dots to represent the frequency of data points in a dataset.

How do you find the mode of a dataset?

Back

The mode is the value that appears most frequently in a dataset.

Front

How do you find the median of a dataset?

Back

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

What is the purpose of using box plots?

Back

Box plots are used to summarize and compare distributions of datasets, highlighting their central tendency and variability.

Front

What is the purpose of using dot plots?

Back

Dot plots are used to display the frequency of data points and to visualize the distribution of a dataset.

Front

How can you compare two datasets using box plots?

Back

You can compare two datasets using box plots by examining their medians, ranges, and the spread of the data.

Front

How can you compare two datasets using dot plots?

Back

You can compare two datasets using dot plots by looking at the number of dots and their distribution along the number line.
