Put the numbers in order. 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 9, 12, 15, 18, 19, 27. Step 2: Find the median. 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 9, 12, 15, 18, 19, 27. 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.
The equation 2d + 18 = 24 can help find the number of days Jerry has been doing sit-ups.
Step-by-step explanation:
During the first day, Jerry did 18 sit-ups, and he proceeded to do 2 more sit-ups each following day, so the expression to represent this situation is 2d + 18. Because he did 24 sit-ups today, to find the number of days he did sit-ups, the equation to solve is 2d + 18 = 24.
