@primeralph help?

Answer 19

Have you put the numbers in order? That would be my first step.

Answer 20

yes and I found out that 34= 1st quartile and 46= 3rd quartile

Answer 21

Count how many numbers greater than 46, divided by the total number.

Answer 22

Hopefully someone else has a good answer. I'm going to read again, but I'm not entirely sure I understand the question.

Answer 23

that's what I was thinking too

Answer 24

its probably 25 cuss 46 is the third quartile which includes 75% so anything above is the remaining 25%....

Answer 25

so its actually 3 numbers above 46

Answer 26

so its be 0.2 which equals 20%?

Answer 27

@mebs so ur saying that its just 25%?

Answer 28

The third quartile of this distribution , 46, is also called the 75th percentile, indicating that approximately 75% of the observations fall below this value. In this distribution, what percent of the observations actually fall above 46?

This is what I understand:
If 75% fall below 46, then the remaining must be above 46.

Answer 29

so then 25%? I mean that does make sense

Answer 30

Looks like it.
@gypsy1274 The problem is, are they referring to the raw distribution or the already collated value. I thought of what you said too.

Answer 31

yea me too

Answer 32

25% makes sense to me. That would be my answer.

Answer 33

@primeralph according to what u said it's be 20%

Answer 34

@primeralph Do you have a different interpretation?

Answer 35

I'm thinking that's too easy and the question is trying to point out the error in distributions as against actual interpretation.
@music101 If you're cool, with 25, go for it.

Answer 36

well actually I was thinking the same thing as u @primeralph

Answer 37
