Math Problem Statement
Solution
The question in the image is asking to calculate the five-number summary for a given data set.
The data set:
Step-by-step five-number summary:
-
Minimum: The smallest number in the data set.
-
First Quartile (Q1): The median of the lower half of the data (excluding the overall median). The lower half is .
- The median of this set is (second value).
-
Median (Q2): The middle number of the data set. Since there are 10 data points, the median is the average of the 5th and 6th values, which are both .
-
Third Quartile (Q3): The median of the upper half of the data (excluding the overall median). The upper half is .
- The median of this set is .
-
Maximum: The largest number in the data set.
The five-number summary is:
Now for part b, the minimum value (0) is removed, so the new data set becomes: .
Recalculating the five-number summary:
-
Minimum:
-
First Quartile (Q1): The lower half is . The median of this set is (average of and ).
-
Median (Q2): The median of the data set is the middle value, which is .
-
Third Quartile (Q3): The upper half is . The median of this set is (average of and ).
-
Maximum:
The new five-number summary is:
