Answer: Third option is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
1st Quartile of 3rd class period = 78
For 1st class period,
1st Quartile = 70
3rd Quartile = 85
IQR = Q₃-Q₁
[tex]IQR=85-70\\\\IQR=15[/tex]
According to question,
IQR of 3rd class period is one - third of the IQR of 1st class period.
So, it becomes
[tex]IQR_3=\dfrac{1}{3}\times IQR_{1}\\\\IQR_3=\dfrac{1}{3}\times 15\\\\IQR_3=5[/tex]
Now, we need to find the value of 3rd quartile of the scores from 3rd period.
[tex]IQR_3=Q_3-Q_1\\\\5=Q_3-78\\\\5+78=Q_3\\\\Q_3=83[/tex]
Hence, Third option is correct.
