Answer 1

Answer:

(C) Q1: 55.5 Q2: 110 Q3: 295

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the dataset:

There are 25 items in the dataset.

To find Q2, We divide it into two equal parts and consider the middle term

Therefore: Q2 =110

Q1 = the median of the lower half of the data set.

Q3 = is the median of the upper half of the data set.

In the lower half of the data

Since there are even number of terms,

Median = (55+56)/2=55.5

Therefore: Q1=55.5

In the upper half of the data

Since there are even number of terms,

Median = (239+351)/2=295

Therefore: Q3=295

Q1: 55.5,  Q2: 110,  Q3: 295

The correct option is C.
