Calculating Mean, Median, and Interquartile Range
In order to solve this question, we need to find the mean, median, and interquartile range of the provided data set: 7, 22, 3, 18, 15, 7, 12, 2, 11, 13, 15, 7, 18 First, let's sort the numbers in ascending order: 2, 3, 7, 7, 7, 11, 12, 13, 15, 15, 18, 18, 22 Now we can calculate each measure: Mean: The mean is calculated by adding all the numbers together and dividing by the count of numbers. Mean = (2 + 3 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 11 + 12 + 13 + 15 + 15 + 18 + 18 + 22) / 13 Mean = 130 / 13 Mean ≈ 10 Median: The median is the middle number of the ordered data set. Since there are 13 numbers, the median will be the 7th number. Median = 12 Interquartile Range (IQR): IQR is the difference between the third quartile (Q3) and the first quartile (Q1). Since we have 13 numbers, the first quartile Q1 will be the median of the first half: Q1 = median of 2, 3, 7, 7, 7, 11 (which is the average of the 3rd and 4th values): Q1 = (7 + 7) / 2 Q1 = 7 The third quartile Q3 will be the median of the second half: Q3 = median of 13, 15, 15, 18, 18, 22 (which is the average of the 3rd and 4th values): Q3 = (15 + 15) / 2 Q3 = 15 IQR = Q3 - Q1 IQR = 15 - 7 IQR = 8 Summary: Mean = ≈10 Median = 12 Interquartile Range = 8
Calculating Interquartile Range
To calculate the interquartile range (IQR), you first need to find the first quartile (Q1), which is the median of the lower half of the data, and the third quartile (Q3), which is the median of the upper half of the data. The interquartile range is the difference between Q3 and Q1. First, we will need to determine the position of the quartiles. There are 11 numbers in the data set you provided: 10, 25, 31, 40, 45, 51, 51, 59, 67, 96, 98 To find Q1, we need the median of the first 5 numbers (since the median - 51 - is not included in either half): 10, 25, 31, 40, 45 The median of these numbers is 31 (the middle number), so Q1 is 31. To find Q3, we take the median of the last 5 numbers: 59, 67, 96, 98 The median of these numbers is the average of 67 and 96 because there are an even number of data points: (67 + 96) / 2 = 163 / 2 = 81.5 So, Q3 is 81.5. Now, find the IQR by subtracting Q1 from Q3: IQR = Q3 - Q1 = 81.5 - 31 = 50.5 Therefore, the interquartile range of the provided data set is 50.5.
Calculating Quartiles from Data Set
In the image, you are given a set of data and asked to find the lower quartile, median, and upper quartile. To find these measures, you first need to make sure the data is sorted in ascending order, which it is. The dataset contains the following numbers: 13, 17, 20, 26, 37, 39, 40, 82, 85, 88, 88 To find the median (the middle value), since there are 11 data points, you take the middle value, which is the 6th number when the data is ordered. The 6th number in the sequence is 39, so the median is 39. The lower quartile (Q1) is the median of the first half of the data. Since there are 11 data points, we take the lower 5 data points (ignoring the median): 13, 17, 20, 26, 37 The middle of this set is the third value, which is 20, so the lower quartile is 20. The upper quartile (Q3) is the median of the second half of the data. Again, we ignore the median (39) and take the upper 5 data points: 40, 82, 85, 88, 88 The middle of this set is the third value, which is 85, so the upper quartile is 85. To summarize: Lower quartile (Q1) = 20 Median = 39 Upper quartile (Q3) = 85
Calculating Interquartile Range of a Data Set
To find the interquartile range (IQR) of a data set, we must first determine the first quartile (Q1) and the third quartile (Q3) and then subtract the first quartile from the third quartile: IQR = Q3 - Q1. The data set provided is: 36, 44, 44, 68, 71, 75 Since there are six data points, Q1 will be the value between the second and third data points, and Q3 will be the value between the fifth and sixth data points. To calculate Q1, we take the average of the second and third values (since they're both 44, the average is 44), so Q1 = 44. To calculate Q3, we take the average of the fifth and sixth values: (71 + 75)/2 = 146/2 = 73. Now, let's calculate the IQR: IQR = Q3 - Q1 IQR = 73 - 44 IQR = 29 Thus, the interquartile range of the data set is 29.
