Question

Find Q2 of the following data set 3, 9, 12, 4, 6, 40, 25, 14, 10

Answer 1

Answer:

Q₂ = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data set:  3, 9, 12, 4, 6, 40, 25, 14, 10

Q₂ is the median (the middle value) of the given data set when the data set is ordered from smallest to largest.

Order the values in the data set:

3, 4, 6, 9, 10, 12, 14, 25, 40

As the number of values is odd, the middle value is the 5th value.

Therefore, the median (Q₂) of the given data set is 10.

If the number of data values is even, and therefore there are two middle values, the median is halfway between them.
