Math Problem Statement
The following data are the scores for 23 students on an algebra test. 86 64 46 63 55 68 54 58 55 66 62 34 Send data to calculator 71 99 57 67 91 27 86 51 33 61 97 Send data to Excel)
find q1, median and q3 max and min
Solution
The five-number summary for the given data is:
- Q1 (25th percentile): 54.5
- Median (50th percentile): 62.0
- Q3 (75th percentile): 69.5
- Minimum: 27
- Maximum: 99
Would you like more details or any clarification?
Here are 5 related questions to expand on:
- How is the interquartile range (IQR) calculated using Q1 and Q3?
- How does the median represent the central tendency of this data set?
- How does the presence of extreme values (like 27 and 99) affect the distribution?
- Can boxplots be created for this dataset to visualize the quartiles?
- How would you calculate the variance and standard deviation of these scores?
Tip: The interquartile range (IQR), which is Q3 minus Q1, helps identify data spread and potential outliers.
