OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can't those are two different things @xavier2001

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@phi oh please help me i really wanna understand and do this !

OpenStudy (phi):

it is a bit of work. We can do state 1 (it is the same work for state 2, but different numbers) 1) can you sort the numbers small to big?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes one second!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

state a 21 22 22 23 23 23 24 24 25

OpenStudy (phi):

next find the middle number, that is called the median

OpenStudy (anonymous):

23

OpenStudy (anonymous):

stae b 20 20 21 22 23 23 24 46 50

OpenStudy (phi):

so far we have 3 of the numbers: smallest, median and biggest

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (phi):

now look at the lower half and find the median of it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

23 as well

OpenStudy (phi):

we want the middle number between the smallest and the median 21 22 22 23 *23* the 2nd 23 is the median

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes !

OpenStudy (phi):

I get 22

OpenStudy (phi):

and next the middle number between the median and the largest 23 23 24 24 25

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it would be 24 ? for that

OpenStudy (phi):

yes, so the 5 numbers for state 1 are 21, 22, 23, 24, 25

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so 21 22 23 24 and 25 or the five number summary for state 1 what does iqr mean again and what is it for state 2 plz

OpenStudy (phi):

I think the IQR is the 4th number minus the 2nd number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay and state 2 ? please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like i would have to find the median

OpenStudy (phi):

for state 2, what is the middle number after you sort small to big?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which was 23 for state 2

OpenStudy (phi):

yes 23 is the median for state 2 now find the Q1 which is the middle number between the smallest and the median

OpenStudy (anonymous):

20

OpenStudy (phi):

the smallest to median are 20 20 21 22 23 the middle number is 21

OpenStudy (anonymous):

awles

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OKAY SO FOR STATE 2 IT WOULD BE 21 20 23 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry for caps

OpenStudy (phi):

the numbers from median to bigger are 23 23 24 46 50 the middle number is 24 I would use 20, 21,23, 24,50
