Step 3: Place parentheses around the numbers above and below the median. Not necessary statistically, but it makes Q1 and Q3 easier to spot. (1, 2, 5, 6, 7), 9, (12, 15, 18, 19, 27).
Step 4: Find Q1 and Q3 Think of Q1 as a median in the lower half of the data and think of Q3 as a median for the upper half of data. (1, 2, 5, 6, 7), 9, ( 12, 15, 18, 19, 27). Q1 = 5 and Q3 = 18.
Step 5: Subtract Q1 from Q3 to find the interquartile range. 18 – 5 = 13.
It took them 4 days to install 480 chairs which means if they were working at a constant rate they got 120 chairs installed daily. with 360 chairs left that means in 3 days they will finish. so overall, it took the workers 7 days to finish, or a week.
