can you expand out that stem and leaf plot?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what do you get when you do so?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

31,33,37,40,40,43,47,48,50,52,56,58

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

correct

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

now find the median of this data set

OpenStudy (anonymous):

43

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

nope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

between 43 and 47? right??

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes, average those values

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how...

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

add them up and divide by 2

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

it's the same as finding the midpoint

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok srry i was gone

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

that's fine

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its 45

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

median = 45, yes

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

focus on just the first half of the data set 31,33,37,40,40,43 so the first 6 values what is the median here?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

38.5

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes, so Q1 = 38.5

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

focus on the other half of the data set 47,48,50,52,56,58 what is the median?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

51

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Q1 = 38.5 Q3 = 51

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

IQR = Q3 - Q1
