Comparing Box plots and Dot Plots

Front

What is a box plot?

Back

A box plot is a graphical representation of a dataset that shows its minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, and maximum values.

Front

What is a dot plot?

Back

A dot plot is a simple graphical display that uses dots to represent the frequency of data points in a dataset.

Front

What does the median represent in a dataset?

Back

The median is the middle value when the data points are arranged in order.

Front

How do you find the range of a dataset?

Back

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

Front

What is an outlier?

Back

An outlier is a data point that is significantly different from the other data points in a dataset.

Front

What does the interquartile range (IQR) measure?

Back

The interquartile range measures the spread of the middle 50% of the data, calculated as the difference between the third quartile and the first quartile.

Front

What does point C on a box plot represent?

Back

Point C represents the median of the dataset.

Front

How can you identify an outlier in a dot plot?

Back

An outlier in a dot plot appears as a dot that is far away from the other dots, indicating a value that is much higher or lower than the rest.

Front

What is the first quartile (Q1)?

Back

The first quartile (Q1) is the median of the lower half of the dataset, representing the 25th percentile.

Front

What is the third quartile (Q3)?

Back

The third quartile (Q3) is the median of the upper half of the dataset, representing the 75th percentile.
