Q. Question \#8Given that the median is 270 and the interquartile range is 20 , which of the following statements are true?I. Fifty percent of the data are greater than or equal to 270 .II. Fifty percent of the data are between 260 and 280.III. Seventy-five percent of the data are less than or equal to 280 .(A) I only(B) II only(C) III only(D) I and II(E) I, II, and III
Understand Median and IQR: Step 1: Understand the definition of median and interquartile range.Median is the middle value of the data set, so 50% of the data are greater than or equal to 270 and 50% are less than or equal to 270. Interquartile range (IQR) is the range between the 25th percentile (Q1) and the 75th percentile (Q3) of the data, which is 20 in this case.
Calculate Q1 and Q3: Step 2: Calculate Q1 and Q3 using the median and IQR.Q1=Median−(IQR/2)=270−(20/2)=270−10=260Q3=Median+(IQR/2)=270+(20/2)=270+10=280This means 50% of the data lies between 260 and 280.
Analyze Statements: Step 3: Analyze the statements based on calculations.Statement I: True, as 50% of the data are greater than or equal to 270.Statement II: True, as 50% of the data are between 260 and 280.Statement III: True, as 75% of the data are less than or equal to 280 (since Q3 is 280).
