Math Problem Statement

What is the overall median of the data? What number separates the first and second groups?

Solution

The image shows a box-and-whisker plot, which provides key data points for statistical analysis. From the plot, we can observe the following information:

  • Minimum value: 0
  • Q1 (first quartile): 25
  • Median (Q2): 49
  • Q3 (third quartile): 57
  • Maximum value: 78

Answers to the questions:

  1. Median: The overall median of the data is represented by Q2Q_2, which is clearly marked as 49.

  2. Group separator: The number separating the first and second groups refers to Q1Q_1, the first quartile, which is 25.

Thus:

  • Median = 49
  • Group Separator = 25

Here are 5 related questions for further practice:

  1. How is the interquartile range (IQR) calculated from the box-and-whisker plot?
  2. What does it mean if a box-and-whisker plot is skewed to one side?
  3. How do you calculate the range of the data set based on this plot?
  4. What percentage of data lies between the first and third quartiles?
  5. How would outliers be represented in a box-and-whisker plot?

Tip: The interquartile range (IQR) is a key measure of variability and is the difference between Q3Q_3 and Q1Q_1.
