Front

What is a box plot?

Back

A box plot is a graphical representation of a dataset that displays the minimum, first quartile (Q1), median (Q2), third quartile (Q3), and maximum values.

Front

What does the median represent in a box 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

What is the minimum value in a dataset?

Back

The minimum value is the smallest number in a dataset.

Front

What is the maximum value in a dataset?

Back

The maximum value is the largest number in a dataset.

Front

What is the interquartile range (IQR)?

Back

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

Front

What are the five-number summary components?

Back

The five-number summary consists of the minimum, first quartile (Q1), median (Q2), third quartile (Q3), and maximum.

Front

How do you find the median of a dataset?

Back

To find the median, order the data from least to greatest and identify the middle value. If there is an even number of values, average the two middle values.

Front

What does Q1 represent in a box plot?

Back

Q1, or the first quartile, represents the median of the lower half of the dataset, indicating that 25% of the data falls below this value.

Front

What does Q3 represent in a box plot?

Back

Q3, or the third quartile, represents the median of the upper half of the dataset, indicating that 75% of the data falls below this value.

Front

What is the range of a dataset?

Back

The range is the difference between the maximum and minimum values in a dataset.
