If a box plot has a median line very close to Q1, what does this suggest about the data distribution?
[2 marks]3.
Draw a box plot for the data set: 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15.
[4 marks]4.
What is the interquartile range (IQR) of a data set if Q1=20 and Q3=35?

Explain what it means if the median is closer to Q3 than to Q1 in a box plot.
[2 marks]7.
Given a box plot where the box is skewed to the right, what can you say about the data distribution?
[2 marks]8.
If the median line in a box plot is exactly in the middle of Q1 and Q3, what does this indicate about the data?
[2 marks]9.
A data set has Q1=15, median=20, Q3=25. What is the interquartile range?
