OpenStudy (welshfella):

can you see what the lowest number is?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

the min?

OpenStudy (scribblepikachu):

94

OpenStudy (welshfella):

right now to find the median arrange the numbers in ascending order. the median will be the middle value. In this case there are 11 numbers so the median will be the 6th value.

OpenStudy (scribblepikachu):

hold on

OpenStudy (scribblepikachu):

6th # would be 340

OpenStudy (scribblepikachu):

So is it B?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

yes 340 is the median

OpenStudy (scribblepikachu):

and the max is 866

OpenStudy (welshfella):

Why cant it be D? min, med amd max are the same as for B

OpenStudy (scribblepikachu):

just noticed that...how can i find the Q1 then?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

The only difference is Q1 Can you find Q1 ( the lower quartile)

OpenStudy (scribblepikachu):

yes i can

OpenStudy (welshfella):

Q1 is the number 1 quarter up from the lowest

OpenStudy (welshfella):

In this case its the 3rd number.

OpenStudy (scribblepikachu):

its B then

OpenStudy (welshfella):

correct Q1 = 244

OpenStudy (scribblepikachu):
