Do you know what IQR is?

Ineedhelponmymath:

Not a clue

mhanifa:

First step: Order the data in ascending order, can you do that?

Ineedhelponmymath:

Im trying to do this class because of my grade. My teacher screwed me, long story short. Im a A student in other subjects

Ineedhelponmymath:

Least to greatest?

mhanifa:

Yes

Ineedhelponmymath:

21, 78, 90, 111,381,456, 676

mhanifa:

Good Next step: Identify two halves and find the median of lower half and the upper half. Since the number of terms is odd, you will ignore the middle number.

Ineedhelponmymath:

So add both together?

mhanifa:

So you have 3 numbers in each half. What are the medians of each? Median is the number in the middle.

Ineedhelponmymath:

78 and 456
