Learn how to create a box and whisker plot for a set of data

The video tutorial explains how to create a box and whisker plot by arranging data from least to greatest. It covers identifying the minimum and maximum values, calculating the median for an even dataset, and determining quartiles. The instructor provides a step-by-step guide to ensure understanding, emphasizing the importance of finding the mean for the median in an even dataset and calculating quartiles for the lower and upper data sets.

What is the first step in creating a box and whisker plot?

• Calculating the range of the data set

• Finding the mean of the data set

• Arranging the data from least to greatest

• Identifying the mode of the data set

Which values are essential to identify first when constructing a box and whisker plot?

• The mean and mode

• The minimum and maximum

• The range and variance

• The standard deviation and interquartile range

How is the median determined in an even data set?

• By finding the mode of the data set

• By calculating the mean of the two middle numbers

• By identifying the smallest number

• By selecting the largest number

What is Quartile 1 in a box and whisker plot?

• The maximum value of the data set

• The median of the entire data set

• The mean of the data set

• The median of the lower half of the data set

How is Quartile 3 determined in a box and whisker plot?

• By calculating the median of the upper half of the data set

• By identifying the mode of the data set

• By selecting the minimum value of the data set

• By finding the mean of the entire data set
