Answer 10

First you need to identify the median. First list the sets in order from least to greatest then determine the median. Tell me what you find as the median.

Answer 11

ok im here sorry i was looking for a web site

Answer 12

Answer 16

that's right!

now we need to find the median of Q1 and Q3. To do this we need to find the median on either side of the median. Do you understand what I mean?

Answer 28

Q1 was already found as 35. So we only need to find Q3, so it is 37 :)

Can you find Q1 and Q3 of the second set?

Answer 29

set 1 35 and 37
set 2 23 and 38

Answer 30

ok so am i right

Answer 31

let meh see...

Answer 32

That's right!

Not to find the interquartile range you simply subtract Q3 by Q1! So find the difference of the quartiles.

Answer 33

Set 1: 2
Set 2: 15
