Concept explainers
To find minimum, lower quartile, median, upper quartile and maximum.
Answer to Problem 1GP
Minimum is 35.6, Lower quartile is 35.2, Median quartile is 36.2, Upper quartile is 35.9 and Maximum is 35.6
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Data is 36.1, 35.8, 35.2, 36.5, 36.0, 36.2, 35.7, 35.8, 35.9, 36.4, 35.6
Formula used:
Lower quartile=
Medium quartile=
Upper quartile=
Where, N is number of tiles
Calculation:
Sorting the data
35.2, 35.6, 35.7, 35.8, 35.8, 35.9, 36, 36.1, 36.2, 36.4, 36.5
Total data points=11
Minimum= 35.2
Maximum=36.5
For Lower quartile, substituting values,
So,
On solving,
Substituting the value of 3rd data point,
For Medium, substituting values,
So,
On solving,
Substituting the value of
For Upper quartile, substituting values,
So,
On solving,
Substituting the value of 9th data point,
Hence, Minimum is 35.6, Lower quartile is 35.2, Median quartile is 36.2, Upper quartile is 35.9 and Maximum is 35.6
