Q. In the data set below, what are the lower quartile, the median, and the upper quartile?1,4,4,6,7,7lower quartile=__median=__upper quartile=__
Question Prompt: Question prompt: Determine the lower quartile, median, and upper quartile of the given data set: 1,4,4,6,7,7.
Arrange Data Set: Arrange the data set in ascending order, if it is not already. The given data set is already in ascending order: 1,4,4,6,7,7.
Find Median: Find the median of the data set. Since there are 6 numbers, the median will be the average of the 3rd and 4th numbers.Median = (4+6)/2=10/2=5
Identify Lower Quartile: Identify the data set for the lower quartile. For the lower quartile, consider the first half of the data set, excluding the median if it is not part of the data points. The first half is 1, 4, 4.
Find Lower Quartile: Find the value of the lower quartile. Since there are 3 numbers in the first half, the lower quartile is the middle number.Lower quartile =4
Identify Upper Quartile: Identify the data set for the upper quartile. For the upper quartile, consider the second half of the data set, excluding the median if it is not part of the data points. The second half is 6, 7, 7.
Find Upper Quartile: Find the value of the upper quartile. Since there are 3 numbers in the second half, the upper quartile is the middle number.Upper quartile = 7
