Answer:
The median is 1.84 and the difference between the first and third quartile is 0.34
Step-by-step explanation:
When you write them out 1.84 is the median (middle number). To find the difference I just subtracted the third quartile (2.09) by the first quartile (1.75)
Answers:
- Median = 1.84
- Difference in first and third quartiles = 0.34 (we could say IQR = 0.34 for shorthand)
========================================================
Explanation:
Original data set = {1.96, 2.09, 1.79, 1.61, 1.75, 2.11, 1.84}
Sorted data set = {1.61, 1.75, 1.79, 1.84, 1.96, 2.09, 2.11}
Notice that 1.84 is in the middle of the sorted set. Three values are smaller than it, and three values are larger than it.
Therefore, 1.84 is the median.
The values {1.61, 1.75, 1.79} are smaller than the median. We'll call this set L for lower set.
The values {1.96, 2.09, 2.11} are larger than the median. We'll call this set U for upper set.
From set L = {1.61, 1.75, 1.79}, the median here is 1.75. This is the value of the first quartile Q1
The value of Q3 is 2.09 as it is in the direct middle of set U = {1.96, 2.09, 2.11}
The interquartile range (IQR) is the difference of Q3 and Q1
IQR = Q3 - Q1
IQR = 2.09 - 1.75
IQR = 0.34
