Part 1 of 4
(a) Find the first and third quartiles.
The first quartile is $\square$
The third quartile is $\square$
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Sort the Data
The sorted data is: [3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8, 8, 11, 13, 13, 15, 27]
Step 2: Calculate Quartile Positions
The position for the first quartile (Q1) is calculated as \(\frac{1}{4}(n+1)\) = 5.75
The position for the third quartile (Q3) is calculated as \(\frac{3}{4}(n+1)\) = 17.25
Step 3: Interpolation (if necessary)
Since the position for Q1 is not an integer, we interpolate to find Q1 = 4
Since the position for Q3 is not an integer, we interpolate to find Q3 = 8.75
Final Answer:
The first quartile (Q1) is 4 and the third quartile (Q3) is 8.75.
