Calculate the the following for the class. Round answers to the nearest whole number.

median =
standard deviation =
interquartile range =

Answer 1

Mean (aka average)-79.8928

add all the numbers together and divide by how many numbers there are

sum of terms-2237

number of terms-28

Median- 81

I do it this way-

order the numbers from least to greatest

cross off the front number and back number until you are left with a middle

in this case there were 2

80 and 82

the average of those two is 81

Standard Deviation-15.37237

Interquartile Range-22.5

25th percentile-71

50th percentile-81

75th percentile-93

Answer 2

Mean:79

Median:81

Standard deviation:15

Interquartile range:22
