Q. The data below represents the heights, in inches, of eight 6th graders in Mr. Thut's math class. 55,65,59,47,51,51,54,62The minimum height is 47 and the maximum height is 65 . What other values make up the five number summary for this set of data?First Quartile:Median:Third Quartile:
Arrange Data in Ascending Order: Arrange the data in ascending order.The given data is: 55,65,59,47,51,51,54,62.Arranged in ascending order: 47,51,51,54,55,59,62,65.
Find Median: Find the median of the data set.Since there are 8 data points, the median will be the average of the 4th and 5th values.Median =(54+55)/2=109/2=54.5.
Find First Quartile (Q1): Find the first quartile (Q1).The first quartile is the median of the first half of the data set.First half of the data set: 47, 51, 51, 54.Since there are 4 data points, Q1 is the average of the 2nd and 3rd values.First Quartile (Q1) = 470.
Find Third Quartile (Q3): Find the third quartile (Q3). The third quartile is the median of the second half of the data set. Second half of the data set: 55,59,62,65. Since there are 4 data points, Q3 is the average of the 2nd and 3rd values. Third Quartile (Q3) = (59+62)/2=121/2=60.5.
