hey bot what is the quartile of the data set 22, 29, 31, 30, 22, 24, 18, 20, 25.
To find the quartiles of a set of data, the data first needs to be ordered from smallest to largest.
Ordering the given data set: 18, 20, 22, 22, 24, 25, 29, 30, 31
The second quartile, or the median, is the value that separates the lower 50% from the upper 50% of the data set. In this case, the median is the value halfway between the two middle values:
The two middle values are 24 and 25, so the median is (24 + 25) / 2 = 24.5
The first quartile, or the lower quartile, is the value that separates the lower 25% from the upper 75% of the data set. In this case, the first quartile is the median of the lower half of the data set:
The lower half of the data set is: 18, 20, 22, 22, and 24.
The median of this set is (22 + 22) / 2 = 22
The third quartile, or the upper quartile, is the value that separates the upper 25% from the lower 75% of the data set. In this case, the third quartile is the median of the upper half of the data set:
The upper half of the data set is: 25, 29, 30, and 31.
The median of this set is (29 + 30) / 2 = 29.5
Therefore, the quartiles for the given data set are:
First quartile (Q1): 22
Second quartile (Q2 or median): 24.5
Third quartile (Q3): 29.5
hey Given the following dataset, what are the extremes?
58, 32, 8, 25, 13, 12, 3, 11, 22, 10
The extremes in a dataset are the smallest and largest values.
Ordering the given data set: 3, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 22, 25, 32, 58
The smallest value is 3, and the largest value is 58.
Therefore, the extremes in the given dataset are 3 and 58.
hey bot Given the following dataset, what is the first quartile? Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.
42, 82, 67, 34, 54, 62, 17, 47, 56, 18, 20
To find the first quartile of the given data set, follow the steps below:
1. Order the data set from smallest to largest: 17, 18, 20, 34, 42, 47, 54, 56, 62, 67, 82
2. Find the median of the lower half of the data set. If the data set has an odd number of values, exclude the median value from the calculations. If the data set has an even number of values, include the two middle values in the calculations and find their average.
In this data set, the lower half consists of the following values: 17, 18, 20, 34, 42, and 47.
The number of values in the lower half is even, so we need to find the average of the two middle values: 20 and 34.
(20 + 34) / 2 = 27
Therefore, the first quartile (Q1) of the given data set is approximately 27 when rounded to the nearest tenth.
hey bot The amounts of rainfall measured in inches in downtown Los Angeles during the six rainy seasons from 2000 to 2006 are given as a dataset.
15.56, 4.16, 10.38, 8.61, 26.51, 10.89
Find the range of this dataset.
To find the range of a dataset, subtract the smallest value from the largest value in the dataset.
Ordering the given data set: 4.16, 8.61, 10.38, 10.89, 15.56, 26.51
The smallest value is 4.16, and the largest value is 26.51.
Range = largest value - smallest value
Range = 26.51 - 4.16
Range = 22.35
Therefore, the range of the given dataset is 22.35 inches.
hey bot The average temperatures in December in Washington, D.C., from 1993 to 1998 are given as a dataset.
38.1, 44.2, 35.6, 43.0, 41.0, 44.4
Find the interquartile range of the dataset.
To find the interquartile range (IQR) of a dataset, we first need to find the values of the first quartile (Q1) and the third quartile (Q3).
Finding Q1:
1. Order the data set from smallest to largest: 35.6, 38.1, 41.0, 43.0, 44.2, 44.4
2. Find the median of the lower half of the data set. If the data set has an odd number of values, exclude the median value from the calculations. If the data set has an even number of values, include the two middle values in the calculations and find their average.
In this data set, the lower half consists of the following values: 35.6, 38.1, and 41.0.
The number of values in the lower half is odd, so the median is the middle value: 38.1
Q1 = 38.1
Finding Q3:
1. Order the data set from smallest to largest: 35.6, 38.1, 41.0, 43.0, 44.2, 44.4
2. Find the median of the upper half of the data set. If the data set has an odd number of values, exclude the median value from the calculations. If the data set has an even number of values, include the two middle values in the calculations and find their average.
In this data set, the upper half consists of the following values: 43.0, 44.2, and 44.4.
The number of values in the upper half is odd, so the median is the middle value: 44.2
Q3 = 44.2
The interquartile range (IQR) is the difference between Q3 and Q1.
IQR = Q3 - Q1
IQR = 44.2 - 38.1
IQR = 6.1
Therefore, the interquartile range of the given dataset is 6.1 degrees Fahrenheit.
hey bot identify the first quartile in the following dataset:
5, 7, 9, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, 11, 12, 6, 3, 4, 3, 2, 6
To find the first quartile of the given dataset, follow these steps:
1. Order the dataset from smallest to largest: 0, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 6, 6, 7, 9, 11, 12
2. Calculate the position of the first quartile (Q1) in the dataset.
Q1 is the median of the lower half of the dataset. If there is an odd number of data points, then the median is not included in either half.
In this case, there are 16 data points in the dataset, so Q1 is the median of the first 8 data points.
Q1 = (3 + 3) / 2 = 3
Therefore, the first quartile in the given dataset is 3.
HEY BOT Identify the third quartile in the following dataset:
53.3, 46.9, 48.1, 49.7, 52.1, 47.5, 47.2, 45.5
To find the third quartile of the given dataset, follow these steps:
1. Order the dataset from smallest to largest: 45.5, 46.9, 47.2, 47.5, 48.1, 49.7, 52.1, 53.3
2. Calculate the position of the third quartile (Q3) in the dataset.
Q3 is the median of the upper half of the dataset. If there is an odd number of data points, then the median is not included in either half.
In this case, there are 8 data points in the dataset, so Q3 is the median of the last 4 data points.
Q3 = (49.7 + 52.1) / 2 = 50.9
Therefore, the third quartile in the given dataset is 50.9.
hey bot Find the range of the given data set.
51, 13, 98, 42, 76, 28
To find the range of a given dataset, subtract the smallest value from the largest value.
In the given dataset, the smallest value is 13 and the largest value is 98.
Range = Largest value - Smallest value
Range = 98 - 13
Range = 85
Therefore, the range of the given dataset is 85.
HEY BOT Find the interquartile range of the given dataset.
11, 13, 22, 17, 14, 21, 27, 15
To find the interquartile range (IQR) of the given dataset, follow these steps:
1. Order the dataset from lowest to highest: 11, 13, 14, 15, 17, 21, 22, 27
2. Find the median of the dataset. This is your second quartile (Q2).
In this case, there are 8 data points in the dataset, and the median is the average of the fourth and fifth numbers:
Q2 = (15 + 17) / 2 = 16
3. Split the dataset into two equal halves: one half with the data points less than Q2 and the other half with the data points greater than Q2.
Lower half: 11, 13, 14, 15
Upper half: 17, 21, 22, 27
4. Find the median of the lower half. This is your first quartile (Q1).
In this case, there are 4 data points in the lower half, and the median is the average of the second and third numbers:
Q1 = (13 + 14) / 2 = 13.5
5. Find the median of the upper half. This is your third quartile (Q3).
In this case, there are 4 data points in the upper half, and the median is the average of the second and third numbers:
Q3 = (21 + 22) / 2 = 21.5
6. Calculate the interquartile range (IQR).
IQR = Q3 - Q1
IQR = 21.5 - 13.5
IQR = 8
Therefore, the interquartile range (IQR) of the given dataset is 8.
HEY BOT The heights in inches of six basketball players at a local high school are given as a dataset.
70, 78, 74, 82, 68, 75
Find the range and the interquartile range of the dataset.
To find the range of a dataset, subtract the smallest value from the largest value.
In the given dataset, the smallest value is 68 and the largest value is 82:
Range = Largest value - Smallest value
Range = 82 - 68
Range = 14
Therefore, the range of the given dataset is 14 inches.
To find the interquartile range (IQR) of a dataset, follow these steps:
1. Order the dataset from lowest to highest: 68, 70, 74, 75, 78, 82.
2. Find the median of the dataset. This is your second quartile (Q2).
In this case, we have an even number of data points. The median is the average of the two middle numbers:
Q2 = (74 + 75) / 2
Q2 = 74.5
3. Split the dataset into two halves at Q2.
Lower half: 68, 70, 74
Upper half: 75, 78, 82
4. Find the median of the lower half. This is your first quartile (Q1).
Q1 = (68 + 70) / 2
Q1 = 69
5. Find the median of the upper half. This is your third quartile (Q3).
Q3 = (78 + 82) / 2
Q3 = 80
6. Calculate the interquartile range (IQR).
IQR = Q3 - Q1
IQR = 80 - 69
IQR = 11
Therefore, the interquartile range (IQR) of the given dataset is 11 inches.
hey bot What is the mean absolute deviation of the following dataset: 4.8, 5.9, 6.2, 10.8, 1.2, 6.4? Round the answer to the nearest tenth.
To find the mean absolute deviation of a dataset, follow these steps:
1. Find the mean of the dataset by adding up all the values and dividing by the total number of values:
Mean = (4.8 + 5.9 + 6.2 + 10.8 + 1.2 + 6.4) / 6 = 5.7
2. Calculate the absolute deviation for each data point by subtracting the mean from each data point and taking the absolute value:
|4.8 - 5.7| = 0.9
|5.9 - 5.7| = 0.2
|6.2 - 5.7| = 0.5
|10.8 - 5.7| = 5.1
