What are quartiles in a box plot and how are they used for interpretation?

• Quartiles in a box plot represent the mean, median, and mode of the data

• Quartiles in a box plot are used to show the maximum and minimum values of the data

• Quartiles in a box plot have no significance in data interpretation

• Quartiles in a box plot divide the data into four equal parts, representing the 25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles.
