Q. In the data set below, what is the interquartile range?\newline1339403560 \begin{array}{lllll}13 & 39 & 40 & 35 & 60\end{array}
  1. Order Data Set: First, we need to order the data set from smallest to largest to find the quartiles.\newlineData set in order: 13,35,39,40,60{13, 35, 39, 40, 60}
  2. Find Median: Next, we find the median (Q22), which is the middle number of the ordered set.\newlineSince there are 55 numbers, the median is the third number: 3939.
  3. Find First Quartile: Now, we find the first quartile Q1Q_1, which is the median of the lower half of the data set.\newlineThe lower half of the data set is {13,35}\{13, 35\}. The median of this set is (13+35)/2=24(13 + 35) / 2 = 24.
  4. Find Third Quartile: Then, we find the third quartile Q3Q_3, which is the median of the upper half of the data set.\newlineThe upper half of the data set is {40,60}\{40, 60\}. The median of this set is (40+60)/2=50(40 + 60) / 2 = 50.
  5. Calculate Interquartile Range: Finally, we calculate the interquartile range (IQR), which is Q3Q1Q3 - Q1.IQR=5024=26IQR = 50 - 24 = 26.
