Chapter 12.4, Problem 11PPE

To determine

To find: The minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, and maximum of given data set.

Answer to Problem 11PPE

  $\begin{array}{l}\text{Minimum}=100\\ \text{Maximum}=105\\ \text{Median}\left(Q_2\right)=101\\ \text{First quartile}\left(Q_1\right)=100\\ \text{Third quartile}\left(Q_3\right)=104\end{array}$

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

A data set is given as − $\text{101 100 100 105 101 102 104}$ .

Calculation:

Given data set is $\text{101 100 100 105 101 102 104}$ .

Arranging the data set from least to greatest −

  $\text{100 100 101 101 102 104 105}$

  $\begin{array}{l}\text{Minimum}=100\\ \text{Maximum}=105\\ \text{Median}\left(Q_2\right)=101\\ \text{First quartile}\left(Q_1\right)=100\\ \text{Third quartile}\left(Q_3\right)=104\end{array}$
