Solution

For the given data set, the values are as follows:

  • First Quartile (Q1): 22.25
  • Median (Q2): 36.0
  • Third Quartile (Q3): 46.5

  2. What is the significance of the interquartile range (IQR) in statistics?
  3. How can quartiles help in detecting outliers?
  4. What is the difference between quartiles and percentiles?
  5. How does changing the dataset affect the quartile values?

Tip: Quartiles are used to understand the spread and distribution of data. The Interquartile Range (IQR) is particularly helpful in identifying outliers.
