i need some help please
@Vocaloid
first find the median of the entire data set, then take the numbers below the median, and take the median of that set. the result will be your Q1
is 5 the median?
hm not quite check again listing the numbers in order we have 1,3,3,5,6,10,11,11,16 what's the number in the middle?
Not to steal the show or anything but hint hint, the middle number = a median.
there are 9 items in the list, so the 5th item in the list will be the median (4 numbers above it, 4 numbers below it) so what's the 5th item in our list of terms?
6
awesome, so that's the median to find Q1 let's take every value below 6 1,3,3,5 what's the median of this list?
since we have an even number, take the two middle numbers, 3 and 3, and take the average of them to get Q1
quick refresher on how to take the average of a set of data: add up all the numbers, then divide by how many there are so if you want to take the average of 3 and 3, add them and divide by 2 since we are taking the average of 2 items
3 would be the answer to that
good so Q1 = 3 = your solution
