So, I didn't quite understand your question clearly, but I'll try my best to answer it.
So, the first question is quite simple: Did the runner have a % decrease in his time or an increase.
Well, 7:45 is minor than 5:51. So, his time decreased.
2nd question:
The percent of change. Well, first things first 7:45 has 2 different units, wich are minutes and seconds, I suppose. Same goes for 5:51.
So let's put everything in seconds. multiply both the 7 and 5 for 60(for every minute has 60 seconds.)
That means:
7*60= 420+45 = 465.
5*60=300+51=351.
Now, let's do the math itself:
465 -> 100%
351 -> x%
Is equal to about 75,5%
How much did it decrease then?
(75,5-100)%= 24,5%, approximately
First you find the median, the middle term (if there are an even number of terms it is the average of the middle two terms.) Since you have 21 terms, odd, you just use the middle term, in this case 8. The first quartile works the same way, but just on the left half between the start and the median...so the first quartile is 6.
