How do you calculate the first quartile?

• Take the average of the first two numbers in the lower half of the data

• Find the median of the lower half of the data, if n is even, use the average of the two middle values of the lower half.

• Take the average of the first and last numbers in the lower half of the data

• Take the average of the first and last numbers in the upper half of the data

What is the interquartile range?

• The difference between the first quartile and the third quartile

• The difference between the minimum and the maximum

• The difference between the mean and the median

• The difference between the mode and the median

How do you identify outliers in a data set?

• Any number that is outside the range of Q1 - 1.5 * IQR to Q3 + 1.5 * IQR

• Any number that is outside the range of Q1 - 2 * IQR to Q3 + 2 * IQR

• Any number that is greater than the mean plus three times the standard deviation

• Any number that is less than the mean minus three times the standard deviation

How do you draw a box and whisker plot?

• Plot the mean, median, mode, range, and standard deviation on a number line

• Plot the minimum, maximum, mean, mode, and range on a number line

• Plot the first quartile, second quartile, third quartile, mean, and range on a number line
