Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The second quartile is another name for the median, which is the value that separates the bottom 50% from the top 50% of the data. Therefore, the correct choice is B - Median. Choice A is incorrect because the mean represents the average value of the data, and may not necessarily coincide with the second quartile. Choice C is incorrect because the mode is the value that appears most frequently in the data, and again, may not coincide with the second quartile. Choice D is incorrect because the variance is a measure of how spread out the data is, and is not related to the position of the second quartile.
