We must calculate the first, second and third quartiles of a set of data.

1) First, we must order the data from the lower numbers to the higher:


61,65,67,68,68,70,77,80,87,88,103,105

Now, we separate the data into two halves (the red line), and each half in another two halves (the blue lines):

2) From the picture above we see that:

- For the red line, we have the values 70 and 77 on each side, the mid-value between them is:


q_(50)_{}=(70+77)/(2)=73.5

This value is the 50th percentile quartile.

- For the first line in blue, we have the values 67 and 68 on each side, the mid-value between them is:


q_(25)=(67+68)/(2)=67.5

This value is the 25th percentile quartile.

- For the second line in blue, we have the values 87 and 88, the mid-value between them is:


q_(75)=(87+88)/(2)=87.5

3) In summary, the first (Q1), second (Q2), third (Q3) quartiles and interquartile (IQR) of the data are:


\begin{gathered} Q_1=q_(25)=67.5_{} \\ Q_2=q_(50)=73.5 \\ Q_3=q_(75)=87.5 \\ IQR=Q_3-Q_1=87.5-67.5=20 \end{gathered}

the date of me will give the speed of measured by radar of a random sample of 12 Vehicles-example-1
