Define median in simple words.
The median is a simple measure of central tendency. To find the median, we arrange the observations in order from smallest to largest value. Then we cross out the numbers from each side until we reach the middle of the data.
What is the median for this set of data?
There are 10 pieces of data. If you cross out 4 from both ends, you will end up with 2 middle numbers, 89 and 90. Half way between them is the median, 89.5.
Define Center is simple terms.
The center discuss where the middle of the data falls. Three measures of central tendency are mean, median, & mode

What are the steps to create a histogram for the data in the chart?
How to construct:
Draw a horizontal scale and mark it with the possible values for the variable
Draw a vertical scale and mark it with frequency or relative frequency
Above each possible value, draw a rectangle centered at that value with a height corresponding to its frequency or relative frequency
Title: Plane Flights
What percentage of the data is above the lower quartile?
A box plot is divided into 4 equal sections. Each section contains 25% of the data. Therefore 75% of the data is located above the lower quartile.
