  1. Arrange the numbers in ascending order:
    .5, .25, .35, .50, .70
    The median is the middle number of the whole set, namely 0.35.

    The third quartile is the median of the upper half, namely the median of
    {0.35, 0.50, 0.70}

    Can you find the third quartile?

  5. We have already worked out the median as 0.35.

    Now we need to find the third quartile, which is the median of the upper half of numbers, namely the median of
    {0.35, 0.50, 0.70}

    Can you give it another try?

  10. Correct, with corrections on my part.

    Sorry, I did not realize that the numbers have not been put in order!
    Instead of
    .5, .25, .35, .50, .70
    it should be put in order as:
    0.25, 0.35, 0.5, 0.50, 0.70

    So the median is the middle number of the five, or 0.5.

    The upper quartile is the middle number of the upper half, {0.5, 0.50, 0.70} and your answer of 0.50 is still correct.

    For the first quartile, you need to find the median (middle number) of the lower half of the numbers, {0.25, 0.35, 0.5}, so 0.35 is also correct.

    post a sample problem where you have difficulties and ask for help.
    The answer to a general question will usually be responded by a link to the subject, such as:
