<h2>Answer:</h2>

The interquartile range (IQR) of the data set is:

                                 3.5

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

The data points are given as follows:

         0, 1 1/2, 2 1/2, 3, 4, 4, 4, 7, 7 1/2

i.e.   0 , 1.5 , 2.5 , 3 , 4 , 4 , 4  , 7 , 7.5

There are a total of 9 data points and we know that the median of the data is the central tendency of the data and it always exist in the middle of the data.

Here we have 9 data points.

and hence the median exist at the the 5th place.

Hence, Median of data of Middle quartile i.e. Q_2= 4

  • Also, the  lower set of data is:

                  0 , 1.5 , 2.5 , 3

and the first quartile or the lower quartile i.e. Q_1 is the median of the lower set of data.

i.e.  Q_1=\dfrac{1.5+2.5}{2}\\\\i.e.\\\\Q_1=2

  • The upper set of data is:

                  4 , 4  , 7 , 7.5

and the third quartile or the upper quartile i.e. Q_3 is the median of the upper set of data.

i.e.  Q_3=\dfrac{4+7}{2}\\\\i.e.\\\\Q_3=5.5

Hence, the interquartile range (IQR) of the data set is given by:

IQR=Q_3-Q_1\\\\i.e.\\\\IQR=5.5-2\\\\i.e.\\\\IQR=3.5

bixtya [17]

Answer: 8327

Step-by-step explanation:

The arithmetic mean of a data is given by :_

\dfrac{\text{Sum of observations}}{\text{Number of observations}}\\\\=

Given : For the most recent seven years, the U.S. Department of Education reported the following number of bachelor's degrees awarded in computer science: 4,033; 5,652; 6,407; 7,201; 8,719; 11,154; 15,121.

Then, the annual arithmetic mean number of degrees awarded will be :-

\dfrac{4033+5652+6407+7201+8719+11154+15121}{}\\\\=\dfrac{58287}{7}\\\\=8326.71428571\approx8327

Hence, the annual arithmetic mean number of degrees awarded = 8327

The main advantage of boxplots over stemplots and histograms is:.
Orlov [11]

The main advantage with boxplots (aka box and whisker plots) is that we can spot the five number summary very quickly. The five number summary consists of these items:

  1. Min
  2. Q1 = first quartile
  3. Median (sometimes referred to as Q2)
  4. Q3 = third quartile
  5. Max

The min and max are the left-most and right-most tips of the whiskers, assuming there aren't any outliers. They are the smallest and largest items.

The left and right edges of the box represent Q1 and Q3 in that order. The vertical line inside the box is the median. The vertical line does not have to be at the exact center of the box.
