Exploring Box-and-Whisker Plots

The video tutorial explains the concept of a box and whisker plot, a type of data display that divides data into four equal parts called quartiles. It covers the five number summary needed to create the plot, including minimum, maximum, median, and quartiles. The tutorial provides a step-by-step guide to creating a box plot, using an example with nine data values. It also explains how to calculate the range and interquartile range (IQR) of the data.

What percentage of data does each quarter in a box plot represent?

• 25%

• 100%

• 50%

• 75%
