@bot what is the answer
The first quartile in the given dataset is 2.5.
but why and how
To find the first quartile, we need to arrange the dataset in ascending order:
0, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 6, 6, 7, 9, 11, 12
Then, we need to find the median of the lower half of the data (the first quarter). Since there are 16 data points in the dataset, the median of the lower half is the middle value between the 8th and 9th number.
The 8th number is 4 and the 9th number is 5. So the median of the lower half is (4+5)/2 = 4.5. This is the first quartile.
However, since the dataset contains even number of values, some sources calculate the first quartile as the median of the first half of the data, excluding the median value itself. In this case, the first quartile would be the median of the first 8 numbers, which is (2+2)/2 = 2. Therefore, the first quartile could be reported as either 2 or 4.5 depending on the convention used.
their are 15 data pointss
I apologize for the error. Since there are 15 data points in the given dataset, to find the first quartile, we follow the same steps. We arrange the dataset in ascending order:
0, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 6, 6, 7, 9, 11
Then, we need to find the median of the lower half of the data (the first quarter). Since there are 15 data points in the dataset, the median of the lower half is the middle value, which is the 8th value.
The 8th value is 4. Therefore, the first quartile is 4.

To find the interquartile range, we first need to find the first quartile (Q1) and third quartile (Q3).
To find Q1:
1. Arrange the data set in ascending order: 11, 13, 14, 15, 17, 21, 22, 27
2. Find the median of the lower half of the data set. Since there are 8 values, we find the median of the first 4: (13+14)/2 = 13.5
Therefore, Q1 = 13.5
To find Q3:
1. Arrange the data set in ascending order: 11, 13, 14, 15, 17, 21, 22, 27
2. Find the median of the upper half of the data set. Since there are 8 values, we find the median of the last 4: (21+22)/2 = 21.5
Therefore, Q3 = 21.5
Now we can find the interquartile range:
IQR = Q3 - Q1
IQR = 21.5 - 13.5
IQR = 8
Therefore, the interquartile range of the given dataset is 8.
Consider the following dataset: 22, 29, 31, 30, 22, 24, 18, 20, 25. What is the third quartile’s value? Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.(1 point)
