Question 4 • Concepts in Probability and Statistics A

Which type of graph most readily shows the interquartile range for a data set?

Answer
A
bar graphs
B
box plots
C
dot plots
D
histograms

Explanation

A box plot shows the first quartile (Q1) and third quartile (Q3) as the ends of the box. The interquartile range is the distance between them, Q3 − Q1, so a box plot displays it readily. Bar graphs and histograms show frequencies, while dot plots show individual data values.
