Question

Learning Task 2: Let's Illustrate! During the month of February, Dr. Orfega recorded the number of CoViD-19 patients who came in of the hospital each day. The results are as follow: 15, 11, 13, 10, 18, 6, 9, 10, 15, 11, 12. Illustrate the following: 1) Q₁ 5) Pss 2) Q3 D. 3) D4 4) D Assimilation (Time Frame: 30 minutes!​

Answer 1

6, 9, 10, 10, 11, 11, 12, 13, 15, 15, 18

Q1 (the first quartile) represents the data point that separates the lowest 25% of the data from the rest of the data. To find Q1, we can use the formula:

Q1 = (n + 1) / 4

where n is the total number of data points.

In this case, n = 11, so:

Q1 = (11 + 1) / 4 = 3rd data point

So, Q1 is 10.

Q3 (the third quartile) represents the data point that separates the highest 25% of the data from the rest of the data. To find Q3, we can use the formula:

Q3 = 3(n + 1) / 4

In this case:

Q3 = 3(11 + 1) / 4 = 9th data point

So, Q3 is 15.

D4 represents the fourth decile, which is the data point that separates the lowest 40% of the data from the rest of the data. To find D4, we can use the formula:

D4 = (n + 1) / 10 * 4

In this case:

D4 = (11 + 1) / 10 * 4 = 5th data point

So, D4 is 11.

D Assimilation represents the data point that is closest to the mean (average) of the data. To find D Assimilation, we first need to find the mean of the data:

Mean = (6 + 9 + 10 + 10 + 11 + 11 + 12 + 13 + 15 + 15 + 18) / 11 = 12

The data point closest to the mean is 12, so:

D Assimilation = 12

Pss (the range) represents the difference between the largest and smallest data points. In this case:

Pss = 18 - 6 = 12
6 9 10 10 11 11 12 13 15 15 18

Dss=12

Q1=10 Q3=15

D4=11
