thats a google definition so making it clearer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

make the five number summary clearer or more basic

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah... but how am i supposed to explain the upper and lower quartile

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@KlOwNlOvE

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@radar can you help me?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and a median... how do i explain a median

OpenStudy (anonymous):

median as in 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like the middle of a number set... so the median of that number set would be 4 if thats what you are asking

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright well what i would do is say how i would find a median of a even and odd set

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know what a lower quartile is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes the numbers below the median

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so what numbers are below 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3,2,1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1,2,3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats the median in that set

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the lower quartile would be 2 5,6,7 what the median there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the higher quartile is 6 what i would do is explain how to find the median of a even and odd set of numbers then explain how to find the lower/higher quartiles

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but that isnt interpreting the summary

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ill just ask my teacher! thanks though! ill fan and medal you :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm @texaschic101 might be able to help thats what i would see it as though

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thanks!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because you're making the summary simpler on how to find medians lower and higher quatrile

OpenStudy (anonymous):

quartile

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

what are the numbers ? or are you just supposed to tell how you arrive at a 5 number summary given any numbers ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im just not sure how to interpret the upper quartile, lower quartile, median, minimum and maximum

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know how to get all the numbers... but how do i interpret the numbers that i get? @texaschic101
