@Mehek14
Is it the same thing as last time? where you put them in order from least to greatest?
Mehek (mehek14):
yes that is how you get the second quartile
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So then how do I find the 3rd quartile?
OpenStudy (acxbox22):
put them in order
find the median separating the 1st quartile and third quartile
Mehek (mehek14):
well first find the second
then find the median of the numbers that come after that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok
OpenStudy (acxbox22):
first put all the numbers in order and tell me what is the median of the set
Mehek (mehek14):
ok 29 is correct
Mehek (mehek14):
now find the median of the numbers that come after 29
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so rewrite it without 29?

yes you don't need 29
Mehek (mehek14):
but remember you aren't going to put all the numbers
only the numbers that come after 29
OpenStudy (anonymous):
35,37,39,42,44
Median 39
Mehek (mehek14):
there you go :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so the answer would be 39
