Question

What portion of a data set is found in the box, of a box and whisker plot?

Answer 1

50% of the data is within the box

Explanation:

The box in a box & whisker plot is formed using the Q1 and Q3 values as end points. That means that `Q1-> Q2` and `Q2->Q3` is included. Since each range of Q data contains 25% of the data in a box & whisker plot, the box contains 50%

min `-> Q1` = 25%

`Q1 -> Q2` = 25%

`Q2 -> Q3` = 25%

`Q3 ->`max = 25%
