Q. In the data set below, what are the lower quartile, the median, and the upper quartile?11,11,15,23,29,73lower quartile=__median=__upper quartile=__
Arrange Data in Ascending Order: Arrange the data set in ascending order if it is not already sorted.The given data set is already in ascending order: 11,11,15,23,29,73.
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 = (15+23)/2=38/2=19.
Identify Lower Quartile Data: 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 a single number.First half is 11, 11, 15.
Find Lower Quartile Value: 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 =11.
Identify Upper Quartile Data: 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 a single number.Second half is 23, 29, 73.
Find Upper Quartile Value: 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 =29.
