No, they need not.
The median is a measure of central tendency. In a set of data, it is the value such that half the observed values are larger and half are smaller.
To find the lower quartile (Q1) on a dot plot, first, arrange the data points in ascending order. Then, identify the median of the lower half of the data, which includes all values below the overall median. Q1 is the median of this lower half, representing the 25th percentile. If there is an even number of values in the lower half, average the two middle values to determine Q1.
You can see which has the largest spread of data.... Where the extreme values lie... The bigger the box the wider the spread of half of the data... and vice versa
If your upper quartile (Q3) is the same as your median (Q2), it indicates that at least half of your data points are concentrated at or below the median value, resulting in a distribution that is skewed towards the lower values. This scenario suggests that the data set may have a large number of lower values, with a relatively small range of higher values, leading to a flat or plateau-like appearance in the upper half of the data distribution. Such a distribution can impact statistical analyses and interpretations, particularly in understanding variability and central tendencies.
the median is a value of which half of all the values are less than, and half of all the values are greater than.
A single, extremely large value can affect the median more than the mean because One-half of all the data values will fall above the mode, and one-half will fall below the mode. In a data set, the mode will always be unique. The range and midrange are both measures of variation.
The middle value so half the data is above it and half the data is below it. It is often used because extreme values tend to affect it less than other measures of central tendency. If you have an even number of data points, the median is the mean of those two points. ( So you add the two values and divided by two)
The median is a measure of central tendency. In a set of data, it is the value such that half the observed values are larger and half are smaller.
The median is the value that is in 'the middle'. That is, half the values fall below it, half above it. There are a total of 3 + 5 + 6 = 14 sample values. There is no 'middle' value exactly since there are an even number of values. Both the 7th and the 8th largest value are 100 g. Their average is 100 g. Therefore, the median of this sample is 100 g.
The value you are referring to is the median. It represents the middle value in a dataset when the values are arranged in ascending or descending order. It divides the dataset into two equal parts, with half of the observations falling above it and half falling below it.
To find the inner quartiles (Q1 and Q3), first arrange your data in ascending order. Q1 is the median of the lower half of the data, and Q3 is the median of the upper half. The inner quartiles divide the data into four equal parts. The outer quartiles also known as the minimum and maximum values, are the smallest and largest values in the data set.
In all lower values they have the same value. Is values above MS60 the 1945-S takes a higher value.
To find the lower quartile (Q1) on a dot plot, first, arrange the data points in ascending order. Then, identify the median of the lower half of the data, which includes all values below the overall median. Q1 is the median of this lower half, representing the 25th percentile. If there is an even number of values in the lower half, average the two middle values to determine Q1.

True. In a data plot, the line of best fit represents the average trend of the data. Therefore, approximately half of the data points should lie below the line of best fit and half should lie above it if the data is evenly distributed.
It's impossible to tell given the data. The median is the value dividing the half of the elements above the value and the half below it.
To extrapolate is to predict future data from the trends in your current data. If a half inch of rain fell the day before yesterday, and one inch yesterday, and two inches today, we might extrapolate and conclude that three-and-a-half inches will fall tomorrow, and that a week from now two feet of rain will fall.
