Question

I'm having trouble with this particular problem and I've asked two tutors and they're also confused. can someone please explain this to me? Thanks

Answer 1

Rewrite the given data from least to greatest.

5.2, 5.3, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.7, 5.7, 5.8, 5.8, 5.9.

The number of data =10 and it is an even number.

The middle two terms are 5.5 and 5.7.

`Median=(5.5+5.7)/(2)=(11.2)/(2)=5.6`

The terms for Q3 are the last five terms of the given.

5.7, 5.7, 5.8, 5.8, 5.9.

The number of terms is 5 and it is odd.

The median for Q3 is middle term =5.8.

`Q3=5.8`

The terms for Q1 are the first five terms of the given.

5.2, 5.3, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5.

The number of terms is 5 and it is odd.

The median for Q1 is middle term =5.3.

`Q1=5.3`

Hence the answer is
