what is the five-number summary of the data set? 65 39 45 57 32 68 48 70 50

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

First arrange them in order from smallest to largest

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*32 39 45 48 50 57 65 68 70*

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

You're lucky you have 9 terms

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

1st term, 3rd term, 5th term, 7th term, 9th term

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the terms are min 32, q1 35.5, q2 49, q3 69, and max 70?

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

q1 is not 35.5, q2 is not 49, q3 is not 69

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then it's min: 32, q1: 42, q2: 50, q3: 66.5, max: 70?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

bc i have to find the median of each quartile

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

Why do you find the median of each quartile?

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

5-number: minimum, lower, median, upper, maximum

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont really understand the quartiles even though that they are one of the easiest math problems

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

Lower quartile is half way to the median
