Exploring Box and Whisker Plots

This video tutorial covers the basics of box-and-whisker plots, including how to identify quartiles and calculate the interquartile range. It explains how to create a box-and-whisker plot using a number line and discusses the concept of outliers, providing a rule for determining them based on the interquartile range.

What is the second quartile also known as?

• Range

• Mode

• Median

• Mean

How is an outlier determined in relation to the interquartile range?

• Less than the first quartile minus 1.5 times the interquartile range

• Greater than the third quartile plus 1.5 times the interquartile range

• Neither A nor B

• Both A and B

If the interquartile range is 15, how far can a value be from the third quartile to still be considered within the acceptable range?

• 7.5 units

• 30 units

• 22.5 units
