What is the upper quartile, Q3, of the following data set? 54, 53, 46, 60, 62, 70, 43, 67, 48, 65, 55, 38, 52, 56, 41

The original data set is
{<span>54, 53, 46, 60, 62, 70, 43, 67, 48, 65, 55, 38, 52, 56, 41}
Sort the data values from smallest to largest to get
</span><span>{38, 41, 43, 46, 48, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 60, 62, 65, 67, 70}
</span>
Now find the middle most value. This is the value in the 8th slot. The first 7 values are below the median. The 8th value is the median itself. The next 7 values are above the median.
The value in the 8th slot is 54, so this is the median
Divide the sorted data set into two lists. I'll call them L and U
L = {<span>38, 41, 43, 46, 48, 52, 53}
U = {</span><span>55, 56, 60, 62, 65, 67, 70}
they each have 7 items. The list L is the lower half of the sorted data and U is the upper half. The split happens at the original median (54).
Q3 will be equal to the median of the list U
The median of U = </span>{<span>55, 56, 60, 62, 65, 67, 70} is 62 since it's the middle most value.
Therefore, Q3 = 62

Answer:
No, a convenience sample was taken.Therefore, the sample may not be representative of all college students in terms of number of hours studied per week.
Step-by-step explanation:
One of the important conditions required in other to estimate the mean of the population from the confidence interval. Requires that the data must be a random Sample. This is to ensure that sample values are not biased and as such are representative of the larger group of data.
However, in the scenario described above, the sample chose. Are friend's of the student, this makes the data lack randomness as those who aren't friends to the student do not stand a chance of being selected. The sampling procedure employed is called convenience sampling.
