Question

Using the following data set of monthly rainfall amounts recorded for 10 randomly selected months in a two-year period, what is the five-number summary?

a. 0, 1, 3.5, 5, 8.
b. 2, 5, 5, 5, 0.5.
c. 0.5, 2, 5, 7, 8.
d. 0, 1, 5, 5, 8.

Answer 1

Answer: 0,1,5,5,8

Explanation:

From the rule of five number summary, we have to solve and group the datasets into a single list ranging from the lowest to the highest.

On doing that , we'll have

0,0,0.5,0.5,1,1,2,2,3.5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,7,8,8,8

From the grouping above, you can see that:

Minimum = 0

Q1 = 1

Median = 5

Q3 = 5

Maximum = 8

Therefore, the five number summary is:

0, 1, 5, 5, 8
