Question

Find the minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, and maximum of the data set below.4.92.76.2.54.75.46.53.812type an integer or decimal

Answer 1

The Data set given is

4.9,2.7,6.2,5,4.7,5.4,6.5,3.8,12

The minimum of the data set is the lowest data in the distribution

`\text{minimun}=2.7`

The first quartile is given by

`Q_1=((N)/(4)+1)^(th)`

where N=frequency of the data=9

`Q_1=(9)/(4)+1=1.25+1=2.25^(th)`

Then the first quartile becomes

`Q_1=4.7`

The median is the middle number after arrangement

`2.7,3.8,4.7,4.9,5.0,5.4,6.2,6.5,12`
