How is the median calculated in a dataset with an even number of values?

• By averaging the two middlemost values

• By selecting the middlemost value without averaging

• By choosing the lowest value

• By choosing the highest value

What does the range of a dataset represent?

• The middle value of the dataset

• The average value of the dataset

• The total number of data points

• The difference between the highest and lowest values

What is the first quartile in a dataset?

• The highest value in the dataset

• The average of all data points

• The median of the lower half

• The median of the upper half

Which quartile is represented by the median?

• Second quartile

• Not represented by any quartile

• First quartile

• Third quartile

What is the primary purpose of a box plot?

• To display the distribution of data across quartiles

• To show the total range of the data

• To calculate the average of a dataset

• To determine the mode of the dataset

What does the third quartile in a box plot represent?

• The median of the dataset

• The value below which lies the bottom 25% of the data

• The maximum value of the dataset

• The value above which lies the top 25% of the data

In a box plot, what does the line extending from the box to the minimum value represent?

• The range of the middle 50% of data

• The upper 25% of the data

• The lower 25% of the data

• The total range of the data

How is the five-number summary used in the context of box plots?

• To calculate the mean and median

• To outline the minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, and maximum

• To plot the data points on a graph

• To determine the mode and range

What can be inferred if the box in a box plot is skewed towards the higher end of the scale?

• The data is evenly distributed

• There is no variability in the data

• Most data points are low with some high outliers

• Most data points are high with some low outliers
