Question

The temperatures (in degrees Fahrenheit) in Long Island recorded by the weather bureau over a week were 42, 49, 53, 55, 50, 47, and 52. Which measure should the weather bureau use to calculate how far apart the upper and lower quartiles of the week's daily temperatures were?

Answer 1

Inter Quartile Range

Step-by-step explanation:

Quartile is a positional statistical average, which divided the data into 4 equal halves.

Q1 (Lower Quartile) has 25% data below it, 75% above it. Q3 (Upper Quartile) has 75% data below it, 25% above it.

Interquartile range is the measure used to calculate how far the lower & upper quartiles are.
