How is the range calculated in a box and whisker plot?

• Range = Maximum Value / Minimum Value

• Range = Maximum Value * Minimum Value

• Range = Maximum Value + Minimum Value

• Range = Maximum Value - Minimum Value

Explain the concept of the five-number summary in a box and whisker plot.

• The five-number summary includes the minimum, Q1, median, Q3, and maximum values in a dataset.

• The five-number summary includes the mean, mode, and range values in a dataset.

• The five-number summary includes the first quartile, second quartile, and third quartile values in a dataset.

• The five-number summary includes the standard deviation, variance, and interquartile range values in a dataset.

How can a box and whisker plot help in comparing two sets of data?

• A box and whisker plot does not provide any information about the variability within each set, hindering comparison

• A box and whisker plot only shows the maximum and minimum values of each set, making it hard to compare

• A box and whisker plot provides a visual representation of the distribution, central tendency, and spread of each set, allowing for easy comparison of medians, quartiles, and outliers.

• A box and whisker plot can only display one set of data at a time, limiting the comparison between two sets
