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

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

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

so the answer is 14
OpenStudy (amistre64):
yes, that is what we have determined thru the process.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
