Q. In the data set below, what are the lower quartile, the median, and the upper quartile?58,80,83,90,92lower quartile = _____median = _____upper quartile = _____
Arrange Data Set: Arrange the data set in ascending order if it is not already sorted.The data set given is: 58,80,83,90,92It is already in ascending order, so no need to rearrange.
Find Median: Find the median of the data set.Since there are 5 numbers, the median is the middle number.The median is the third number in the ordered list: 83.Median =83
Lower Quartile Data: Identify the data set for the lower quartile.For the lower quartile, consider the first half of the data set, up to and including the median.First half is 58, 80, 83.Lower quartile data: 58, 80
Find Lower Quartile: Find the value of the lower quartile.Since there are two numbers, the lower quartile is the average of these two numbers.Lower quartile = (58+80)/2Lower quartile = 138/2Lower quartile = 69
Upper Quartile Data: Identify the data set for the upper quartile.For the upper quartile, consider the second half of the data set, starting with the median.Second half is 83, 90, 92.Upper quartile data: 90, 92
Find Upper Quartile: Find the value of the upper quartile.Since there are two numbers, the upper quartile is the average of these two numbers.Upper quartile = (90+92)/2Upper quartile = 182/2Upper quartile = 91
