Understanding Box and Whisker Plots

What does the line inside the rectangle of a box and whisker plot represent?

• The median of the dataset

• The maximum value of the dataset

• The minimum value of the dataset

• The first quartile of the dataset

What are the five key parts displayed by a box and whisker plot?

• Minimum, First Quartile, Median, Third Quartile, Maximum

• Mean, Median, Mode, Range, Standard Deviation

• Minimum, Median, Maximum, Range, Interquartile Range

• First Quartile, Median, Third Quartile, Interquartile Range, Range

How is the first quartile in a box and whisker plot determined?

• It's the median of the lower half of the dataset

• It's the median of the upper half of the dataset

• It's the average of the minimum and median

• It's the average of the median and maximum

In the context of box and whisker plots, what does the term 'interquartile range' refer to?

• The range between the first and third quartiles

• The total range of the dataset

• The range between the median and the maximum

• The range between the minimum and the median

When creating a box and whisker plot, what is the first step?

• Identifying the median

• Drawing the box

• Calculating the interquartile range

• Ordering the data from least to greatest

How do you find the median in a dataset with an even number of values for a box and whisker plot?

• Calculate the average of the two middle values

• Choose the lower of the two middle values

• Randomly select one of the two middle values

• Choose the higher of the two middle values

What does the whisker in a box and whisker plot represent?

• The total range of the dataset

• The standard deviation of the dataset

• The range of the middle 50% of the data

• The range from the minimum to the first quartile and from the third quartile to the maximum

In a box and whisker plot, if the third quartile is 12, what does it indicate?

• 12 is the median of the dataset

• 12 is the maximum value of the dataset

• 75% of the data is less than 12

• 25% of the data is more than 12

What is the correct order to plot the components on a box and whisker plot?

• First Quartile, Third Quartile, Median, Minimum, Maximum

• Minimum, First Quartile, Median, Third Quartile, Maximum

• Minimum, Median, Maximum, First Quartile, Third Quartile

• Median, Minimum, Maximum, First Quartile, Third Quartile

What does the median represent in a box and whisker plot?

• The average value of the dataset

• The highest value of the dataset

• The lowest value of the dataset

• The middle value of the dataset
