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.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
Absolute value always means positive i.e to remove any negative signs in front of a number.
Since 16 is a simple digit with the as the positive sign is invincible.
So, the absolute value of 16 is 16.
Answer:
4(x+4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Find to GCF of 4x+16.
Now factor out the GCF by dividing each term in the expression by 4.
4x divided by the GCF is x, and 16 divided by the GCF is 4.
The equivalent expression is 4(x+4).
