What is the interquartile range for the following set of numbers? 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11, 13, 16, 16, 18, 20, 21, 25, 30, 31, 33, 36, 37, 40, 41

HuskyNation:

the IQR is Q3 - Q1

HuskyNation:

do u you have to find the median is the first step

YoursTruly:

It doesn't say anything about that but if you want to go ahead. c:

HuskyNation:

okay trust me i just learned this

HuskyNation:

well the median is 20

HuskyNation:

a cheat cheat is if the number are least to greatest take your finger and slowy move them at the same time 1 number at a number, and the last number you reach is the middle number which is the median

HuskyNation:

so to find the Q1 you add all the numbers before 20 a divided it by the toal number in that range before 20

Bob:

Actually, the median isn't 20.

Bob:

It's 19.

HuskyNation:

the toal added toget for q1 is 106

HuskyNation:

how so bob?

HuskyNation:

oh i see

Bob:

When you count the numbers to the right of 20, it adds up to 9, but when you count the numbers to the left of 20, it adds up to 10. Kind of uneven, don't you think ?

HuskyNation:

i meessed up

HuskyNation:

stupid fingers

HuskyNation:

okay so we have 88

YoursTruly:

Bob swoops in and steals x'D

HuskyNation:

and divide that by 9 and u have 9.777778

HuskyNation:

so that is the q1

HuskyNation:

now Q3

HuskyNation:

294 divided by 9 is 32.666667

HuskyNation:

now you minus 9.77778 from that

Bob:

simply use the interquartile range formula IQR = xU- xL

Bob:

;)

Bob:

*subtract not minus x'D

YoursTruly:

.o. ty

HuskyNation:

so IQR is 22.888889

Bob:

Rounded to 23. I've gotta say, Husky's got it locked in.

HuskyNation:

:D thank you

YoursTruly:

ty so much >O<
