I just took one of the pearson practice test. i found math to be pretty hard. i ended up getting 66%. and i had like 5 questions with box and whiskers plot (?) what is this plot? I have never seen it and heard about it before.

Did you take stats, yet? You will see it there.

I thought the math was tough, too. I went through the test a second time, and I realized that a lot of the problems looked more complicated than they actually were - I was just psyching myself out.

Is real easy dude. It just has the range and then the box give the medians. The middle one is the true median and the other 2 sides of the boxes is the interquartile range which as I understand it is the median of the top median numbers and the median of the lower median number. If that makes any sense.

I also took stats but box & whisker wasn't emphasized much. So I refreshed myself:

The 5 marks represent:
min value, Q1, Q2 (median), Q3, max value.
