Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. Show all your work for questions requiring calculations or constructions.
1. Explain the five-number summary and how each component is represented in a box and whisker plot.
2. The interquartile range (IQR) is calculated by subtracting the from the .
3. A data point is considered an outlier if it is less than Q1 - 1.5(IQR) or greater than .
4. Consider a box and whisker plot where the minimum is 10, Q1 is 15, the median is 20, Q3 is 25, and the maximum is 30. What percentage of the data falls between 15 and 25?
25%
50%
75%
100%
5. Given the following dataset: 12, 15, 18, 20, 22, 25, 28, 30, 35, 40. Calculate the five-number summary (minimum, Q1, median, Q3, maximum) and draw a box and whisker plot for this data.
Calculations:
Draw your box and whisker plot below:
6. A box and whisker plot is always symmetrical, regardless of the data distribution.
True
False
7. Describe how you can determine if a dataset is skewed left, skewed right, or symmetrical by observing its box and whisker plot.
