Q. In the data set below, what are the lower quartile, the median, and the upper quartile?1,1,1,1,1,3,3,3,4,6lower quartile=__median=__upper quartile=__
Arrange and Find Median: Arrange the data set in ascending order and find the median. The data set is already in ascending order: 1,1,1,1,1,3,3,3,4,6. Since there are 10 numbers, the median will be the average of the 5th and 6th numbers. Median: (1+3)/2=4/2=2.
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 necessary.First half is 1,1,1,1,1.Lower quartile data: 1,1,1,1,1.
Find Lower Quartile Value: Find the value of the lower quartile.Lower quartile data: 1,1,1,1,1.For an odd number of observations, the median is the middle number.Lower quartile is 1.
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 necessary.Second half is 3,3,3,4,6.Upper quartile data: 3,3,3,4,6.
Find Upper Quartile Value: Find the value of the upper quartile.Upper quartile data: 3,3,3,4,6.For an odd number of observations, the median is the middle number.Upper quartile is 3.
Write Quartile Values: Write the values of the lower quartile, median, and the upper quartile.Lower quartile = 1Median = 2Upper quartile = 3
