Answer:
Option A:
Number of seats
Step-by-step explanation:
A discrete quantitative variable is a variable that can be enumerated. This means that they are in units in which numbers can be assigned to and can be counted.
The number of seats present in the car can be counted. This feature can also be evaluated based on its numeral value, rather than its quality. In a simple form, the buyers feel that the more the number of seats present in the car, the more people it can carry. Hence, the family would love to buy a car with a good number of seats in it.
The other features in the options are rather continuous, qualitative, or boolean. Some of them are continuous because they cannot be counted e.g fuel efficiency. The others such as the presence of a sunroof can be seen as a boolean variable. (it can either be true or false)
Type of the transmission is a qualitative variable
By Hand
Step 1:
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.
