Q. In the data set below, what are the lower quartile, the median, and the upper quartile?16,43,45,46,62,72,82,97lower quartile=____median=____upper quartile=____
Identify Median Calculation: Step 1: Identify the median of the data set 16,43,45,46,62,72,82,97. Since there are 8 numbers, the median will be the average of the 4th and 5th numbers. Calculation: (46+62)/2=108/2=54.
Identify Lower Quartile Calculation: Step 2: Identify the data set for the lower quartile.The lower quartile will be the median of the first half of the data set (16,43,45,46).Calculation: Since there are 4 numbers, the median is the average of the 2nd and 3rd numbers.(43+45)/2=88/2=44.
Identify Upper Quartile Calculation: Step 3: Identify the data set for the upper quartile.The upper quartile will be the median of the second half of the data set (62,72,82,97).Calculation: Since there are 4 numbers, the median is the average of the 2nd and 3rd numbers.(72+82)/2=154/2=77.
