Answer:

Minimum = 0%

Q1 (Lower Quartile) = 25%

Median = 50%

Q3 (Upper Quartile) = 75%

Maximum = 100%

That is true. In a box and whisker plot, Q1 is the first quartile (first 25% of the data) is between the lower quartile (Q1) and the median. The median is the middle, so 50% will fall between Q1 and the median. It's important to understand the various measures of central tendency and how they can be used to analyze the spread of data within a given set, which can provide valuable insights and understanding about the overall trends present within the data.
