Question

What is the interquartile range of the numbers 9, 28, 16, 2, 33, 6, 10

Answer 1

Answer:

IQR = 22

Step-by-step explanation:

IQR Formula:

IQR = Q3 - Q1

In order you find Q3 and Q1, please follow these steps:

1. First, you need to order the list of numbers from least to greatest:

2, 6, 9, 10, 16, 28, 33

2. Then, you need to find the median, or the middle number.

2, 6, 9, 10, 16, 28, 33

3. In order to find IQR, you must find the first and third quartiles.

2, 6, 9, 10, 16, 28, 33

Q1 = 6

Q3 = 28

This is because 6 basically means that all the numbers leading to 6 would account for 25% of the data while all the numbers leading to 28 would account for 75% of the data, hence why these are called quartiles.

Now since you have Q1 and Q3, you follow the formula.

28 - 6 = 22

IQR = 22
