Answer:

Explanation:

The five number summary will be the mean, median, interquartile range, minimum value and the maximum value.

Mean is the average of the data. It is the sum total of the numbers divided by the total number.

Mean = 64+72+73+60+65+86+72+69+74/9

Mean = 635/9

Mean = 70.6inches

Median is the middle value after rearrangement. Re-arrangement can be either in ascending or descending order of magnitude​.

On re-aaranging

60, 64, 65, 69), 72, (72, 73, 74, 86

It can be seen that the number at the middle is 72, hence the median data is 72inches

Maximum value is the highest number in the data given. The highest number is 86 according to the data.

Minimum value is the lowest number in the data given. The lowest number is 60 according to the data.

Interquartile range is the difference between the upper quartile sand the lower quartile. Quartiles divides the data into four equal parts

IQR = Q3-Q1

Q3 is the upper quartile

Q1 is the lower quartile

Q1 is the median of the upper part of the dataset i.e 86, 72, 69, 74​

Q1 = 72+69/2

Q1 = 70.5

Q1 is the median of the lower part of the dataset i.e 64, 72, 73, 60

Q3 = 72+73/2

Q3 = 72.5

IQR = 72.5-70.5

IQR = 2.0

Hence the five numbers are 70.6, 72, 86, 60 and 2.0
