The following data points represent the number of animal crackers in each kid's lunch box.

4, 4, 6 , 7, 10 , 11 , 12, 14 ,15

Find the interquartile range (IQR) of the data set

Respuesta :

Answer:

IQR = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the interquartile range of the set of data, the following steps must be followed:

Datas 4, 4, 6 , 7, 10 , 11 , 12, 14 ,15

Step 1: Rearrange the datas in ascending or descending order if not arranged.

4, 4, 6 7, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15

Step 2:

We will locate the (N+1/4)the cumulative value of the data where N is the total frequency of the data.

N = 4 + 4 + 6 + 7 + 10 + 11 + 12 + 14 + 15

N = 83

N+1/4 = 83+1/4

= 84/4

= 21st cumulative value

On cumulating the values up to the 21st value or more:

4 + 4 + 6 + 7

= 21

Since the 21st value falls on 7, then the interquartile range of the set of data is 7
