Box Plots

Front

What is a Box Plot?

Back

A Box Plot is a graphical representation of a dataset that shows its minimum, lower quartile, median, upper quartile, and maximum values.

Front

What does the lower quartile represent in a Box Plot?

Back

The lower quartile (Q1) is the median of the lower half of the data, meaning 25% of the data falls below this value.

Front

What is the median 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

How do you calculate the range of a dataset?

Back

The range is calculated by subtracting the smallest value from the largest value in the dataset.

Front

What does the upper quartile represent in a Box Plot?

Back

The upper quartile (Q3) is the median of the upper half of the data, meaning 75% of the data falls below this value.

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.

Front

What percentage of data falls between the lower quartile and the upper quartile?

Back

50% of the data falls between the lower quartile (Q1) and the upper quartile (Q3).

Front

What is the purpose of a Box Plot?

Back

A Box Plot is used to visually summarize the distribution of a dataset, highlighting its central tendency and variability.

Front

What does the 'whiskers' in a Box Plot represent?

Back

The 'whiskers' extend from the box to the smallest and largest values within 1.5 times the IQR from the quartiles, indicating the range of the data.

Front

What is the minimum value in a Box Plot?

Back

The minimum value is the smallest data point in the dataset, represented by the leftmost point in the Box Plot.
