@dude @563blackghost

563blackghost:

Do you know what quartiles are?

563blackghost:

@zarkam21 you there?

zarkam21:

Yes

zarkam21:

The median of the values below Q2 is called Q1, the lower quartile. The median of the values above Q2 is called Q3, the upper quartile.

563blackghost:

Correct :) Since this is already in order we can start by finding the median. What is the median?

563blackghost:

Remember the median is the number that is in the MIDDLE of the set.

zarkam21:

ohhh it isn't the average?

563blackghost:

No it is not. Since we are finding Q1 and Q3 we need to know the median.

zarkam21:

67

563blackghost:

Correct! Quartiles deal with set on either side of the median. `Q1` is the set above `67`. `Q3` is the set below `67`. \(\large\bf{Q1: 54,56,57,60,62}\) \(\large\bf{Q3: 68,70,71,72,73}\) To find `Q1` and `Q2` we would find the median of each set. What is the median of Q1? What is the median of Q2?

zarkam21:

Just hold on one sec while I write this down

563blackghost:

Ok

zarkam21:

Did you mean to find Q1 and Q3?

zarkam21:

@563blackghost

563blackghost:

Yes, I saw you put Q3 and Q4 but there are only three quartiles.

zarkam21:

I meant 1 and 3

zarkam21:

57 and 71

563blackghost:

Correct!
