Answer:

Q3 = 40.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step to solve your exercise is ordering all the elements of the data set.

So the ordered data set is:

12, 19, 20, 28, 34, 36, 45, 45

The upper quartile is the median of the upper half of a data set. Mathematically, the upper quartile is the term at the position P defined by the equation below

$P = \frac{3(n+1)}{4}$

This exercise data-set has a cardinality of 8, so n = 8.

$P = \frac{27}{4}$

However, P = 6.75. When the decimal part is .75, we subtract .25, so P = 6.50.

So, the upper qurtily is the average between the 6th and 7th terms in the ordered set.

Uq = Q3 = (45+36)/2 = 40.5

<h2>The graph of y = ax^2 + bx + c </h2><h2>A nonlinear function that can be written on the standard form </h2><h2>ax2+bx+c,where a≠0 </h2><h2>All quadratic functions has a U-shaped graph called a parabola. The parent quadratic function is </h2><h2> y=x2 </h2><h2> The lowest or the highest point on a parabola is called the vertex.
