Dataframe.quantile() is used to get the quartiles. The second quantile is known as ..............
Show Hint
- mode
- mean
- standard deviation
- median
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Quantiles divide the dataset into equal parts. The second quantile (Q2) corresponds to the 50th percentile.
Step 2: Identifying Q2
The 50th percentile is also known as the median, because it represents the middle value of ordered data.
Step 3: Eliminating incorrect options
- Mode is the most frequent value, not the second quantile.
- Mean is the arithmetic average, not the median.
- Standard deviation measures dispersion, not a quantile.
\[ \boxed{\text{Therefore, the second quantile = Median.}} \]

The Darsanams of the Gosangi
Over the costumes, Gosangi wears various objects made up of leather, shells, metal and threads as ornaments. Traditionally, the prominent among them is known as Darsanam-s, which literally means vision or suggesting that which is visible. There are altogether seven Darsanams, which can be neither considered as costumes nor ornaments. But, for an outsider, they may look like ornaments. The first Darsanam that Gosangi wears,cover chest and the back. This is traditionally identified as Rommu Darsanam or Sanku Darsanam. The second one is tied around the neck and called as Kanta Darsanam. The third and fourth ones are tied around the arms of left and right hands.
