Question

Make a box-and-whisker plot for the data. What is the upper quartile value? 56 32 48 52 51 53 48 38 35 42 40 46 54 50

Answer 1

From the figure the upper quartile is 51.75

Answer 2

Explanation:

The given data is:

56 32 48 52 51 53 48 38 35 42 40 46 54 50

In order to get the value of the upper quartile, first arrange he given data in ascending form, we get

32, 35, 38, 40, 42, 46, 48, 48, 50, 52, 53, 54, 56

The upper quartile is:48, 50, 52, 53, 54, 56

The value of upper quartile is given as:

`(52+53)/(2)`

=
`(105)/(2)`

=
`52.5`

Thus, the value of the upper quartile will be 52.5.
