In order to sole the problem you need to create an equation to model what you are trying to do.
You end up with an equation looking like
25000*0.95^t
25000 is the starting value when t=0
95% is the amount remaining after the 5% decay
0.95 is being raised to the power of t to determine how many times it has decayed
When t=3 the equation should be
25000*0.95^3=21434.375
THE ANSWER WOULD BE X=2/3
Find the median first. The middle of all the numbers.
5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, 14, 18, 27
11 is the median.
Then find the median of the upper quartile.
The upper quartile consists of numbers...
5, 7, 8, 10
Since it is an even set of numbers add the two in the middle and divided by two. So 7 plus 8= 15/2.
7.5 is your upper quartile.
4.5. because ⁼3=9, and 9 divided by 2 is 4.5
