A researcher has developed an algorithm for analyzing documents. To test the performance he runs the algorithm on documents with lengths of 10 pages, 20 pages, and 30 pages. The run times were 0.1 seconds, 0.2 seconds, and 0.4 seconds. Would the algorithm be reasonable for analyzing a 300-page document? Explain.
Find the median, first quartile (Q1) and the third quartile (Q3) for the data shown, which is already sorted. The number of data is n= 11. Katye Kozak's algorithm: Sort the data and compute the median. When n is an odd number, the median is the center value. When n is an even number, the median is the center value. After computing the median, Q1 is the median of the 1st half of the data, not including the median value. Q3 is the median of the 2nd half of the data, not including the median value. Do not round your answers.
