Jumps

Answer 1

Answer: 48

So, to find out the interquartile range, we must first find the median of the lower and upper half of the data. So, 30, 36, 38, 45, 57 | 60, 77, 86, 88, 88 For the first half, the median is 38, and for the upper half, the median is 86. The median of the lower half is known as the quartile 1, and the median of the upper half is known as the quartile 3. The interquartile range is found by the difference between Q3 and Q1. So, 86 - 38 = 48.

There were 48 jumps.

Hops this helps :)
