Can someone help me on Measures of Variation please.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

how many data points do we have?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it 10 points

OpenStudy (amistre64):

and a quartile is 1/4 of the data 1q = 10/4 3q = 3*10/4 what are those values?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

46

OpenStudy (amistre64):

46 makes not sense ...

OpenStudy (amistre64):

what is 10/4? what is 3*10/4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10/4 is 2.5

OpenStudy (amistre64):

good, the rule is, if we have a decimal, rnd up .. 1q = 3 3*10/4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3 x 10/4 = 30/4

OpenStudy (amistre64):

good 2 < 10/4 < 3 ^^ 1q 7 < 30/4 < 8 ^^ 3q the IQR is the range between these inner quartiles what is the range between the 3rd and 8th values?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't get what's the value

OpenStudy (amistre64):

you need to choose the 3rd and 8th values first do you understand how to read the chart?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (amistre64):

then the 3rd and 8th values should be simple for you to obtain ... what are they?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

31, 33, 35, 41, 43, 46, 48, 49, 49, 50

OpenStudy (amistre64):

31, 33, 35, 41, 43, 46, 48, 49, 49, 50 ^ ^ 3rd 8th out IQR is from 35 to 49, whats the range between those values?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

range = high - low ....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it 14 because I subtracted 49 - 35 and got 14

OpenStudy (amistre64):

good, then thats the IQR they are looking for

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer is 14

OpenStudy (amistre64):

yes, that is what we have determined thru the process.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you for helping I will give you a medal

OpenStudy (amistre64):

youre welcome, and good luck
