Hey,
The lower quartile is the median of the lower half of the data set.
The median is the middle most number or the average of the two middle most numbers depending on how many values there are.
Cheers,
Izzy
f(5) means to replace the x in the equation with 5.
f(5) = 8(5) - 3
f(5) = 40 - 3
f(5) = 37
1st one : is 1/4 ( subtract 3/8 from both sides and simplify 5/8 - 3/8 to 1/4. )
2nd one : is 1/2 ( subtract 3/4 from both sides, simplify 1/4 - 3/4 to 1/-2, and then multiply both sides by -1 )
3rd one : is 5/6 ( subtract 1/8 from both sides and simplify 23/24 - 1/8 to 5/6).
