Answer 1

d. the middle quartile is the meadian of the data

Answer 2

The correct answer is:

d. the middle quartile is the median of the data.

Explanation:

We know that the median of data is the measure of central tendency.

The median is also the number that is halfway into the set.

We know that we divide the quartiles into three parts :

Lower Quartile
`Q_1`, Upper Quartile
`Q_3` , Middle Quartile
`Q_2`.

Where the middle quartile is the median of the data which is basically calculated as arranging the data in the ascending or descending order and then finding the middle value of the data.

Hence, to find the middle quartile of a box-and-whisker plot:

d. the middle quartile is the median of the data.
