Answer 5

These are the 5 numbers you're looking for in each group.
minimum → lowest number
1st quartile → median of the lower half of numbers
median → middle number
3rd quartile → median of the higher half of the numbers
maximum → highest number
Which ones do you know how to find?

now

Answer 9

Can you pick out the maximum and minimum in group A?

Answer 10

21 22 22 23 and 23 24 24 25

Answer 11

Right. Now pick out the median. What number is in the middle of group A?

Answer 12

20 20 21 22 and 23 24 46 50

Answer 13

It's 23.

Answer 14

Now for the 1st quartile, look at the numbers left of the median.
They are 21, 22, 22, and 23. We need to find their median. Since it's an even amount of numbers, there you can't just pick it out. We have to add the 2 middle numbers and divide by 2.

1st quartile = (22 + 22)/2 = 22

Answer 15

Does that make sense?
