Calculate the five-number summary of the given data. 11 7 2 17 18 2 13 22 16 1 20 21 20 23 24
Five-number summary
Minimum = 1
First quartile = 7
Median =17
Third quartile = 21
Maximum =24
Explanation :
1 2 2 7 11 13 16 17 18 20 20 21 22 23 24
So, the bottom half is
1 2 2 7 11 13 16
The first quartile of the data set is 7.
Ordering the data from least to greatest, we get:
1 2 2 7 11 13 16 17 18 20 20 21 22 23 24
So, the median is 17 .
The median of the data set is 17.
1 2 2 7 11 13 16 17 18 20 20 21 22 23 24
So, the upper half is
18 20 20 21 22 23 24
The third quartile of the data set is 21.
