Write Out The Five Number Summary For Each Data Set class=

Sagot :

I'll do problem 1 to get you started

First sort the values from smallest to largest and you should end up with this set

{1, 6, 7, 11, 13, 16, 18, 21, 22, 23}

The smallest value is 1 and the largest value is 23, so the min and max are 1 and 23 in that order.

We have ten values in this set. The middle-most number is going to be between the 10/2 = 5th slot and the 6th slot. The numbers 13 and 16 are in the fifth and sixth slots respectively. Average those values to get (13+16)/2 = 29/2 = 14.5

The median is 14.5 which is another name for the second quartile (Q2).

Now split the data set into two halves

L = lower half of values smaller than the median

U = upper half of values larger than the median

In this case,

L = {1, 6, 7, 11, 13}

U = {16, 18, 21, 22, 23}

sets L and U have five items each

Find the median of set L and U to get 7 and 21 respectively. These medians of L and U represent the values of Q1 and Q3 in that order.

Q1 = first quartile = 7

Q3 = third quartile = 21

===================================================

Answer:

The five number summary for problem 1 is

  • Minimum = 1
  • Q1 = 7
  • Q2 = 14.5  (this is the median)
  • Q3 = 21
  • Maximum = 23
