Question

In the data set shown below, what is the value of the quartiles? (42, 43, 44, 44, 48, 49,50 )

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

first arrange the data from ascending to descending order

since they are already in the order we dont need to change

first quartile(Q1)=(N+1)/4

=7+1/4

=8/4

=2 nd term

=43

second quartile(Q2 or median)=(N+1)/2

=7+1/2

=8/2

=4 th term

=44

third quartile(Q3)=3(N+1)/4

=3(7+1)/4

=3*8/4

=24/4

=6 th term

=49
