Question

2. the lengths of 10 pencils, in centimeters: 18, 15, 4, 9, 14, 17, 16, 6, 8, 10 median: lower quartile: upper quartile:​

Answer 1

Lower Quartile: 7

Median: 12

Upper Quartile: 16.5

Explanation:

First, to find anything you must reorganize the numbers according from smallest to biggest. In this case, it would be:

4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18

Let's find the median first. The median is in the middle of the data set, and there are 10 numbers in this data set. We need to find the middle of two numbers to find the median, 10 and 14, which would be 12.

To find the lower quartile, you must look at the numbers below the median. Those would include 4, 6, 8, and 9. There is a even number of digits, meaning that we might find the middle of two numbers, 6 and 8, which is 7.

Then, the Upper Quartile which is the same process. Look at 15, 16, 17, and 18. It is a even number of digits so we need to find the middle of 16 and 17, which would equal 16.5.

Hope this helped!
