Question

If a data set has 16 data values, the number of values in the upper quartile is ?

Answer 1

4

Explanation:

Quartiles divide the data into 4 equal parts. So, each quartile will have 16/4= 4 values. Therefore, the number of values in the upper quartile is 4.

Answer 2

4 because a quartile is really one fourth of the entire amount and if the entire amount is 16, the upper quartile will consist of 4 values. This was arrived at by simply finding 1/4 of 16 or by dividing 16 by 4.
