Help In Math Please!!The graphic shows the average number of points scored per game for ten players in the NBA.What is the interquartile range (IQR) of the data set. A) 1.1 B) 4.9 C) 6.9 D) 9.8
Accepted Solution
A:
To calculate the interquartile range of a dataset, we first arrange the dataset in order:
Since the given dataset is already arranged in order.
We obtain the Q1 and the Q3 data values.
The Q1 value is the value for which 25% of the datavalues lie below it. For the given dataset, the Q1 value is 24.
Similarly, the Q3 value is the value for which 25% of the datavalues lie above it. For the given dataset, the Q1 value is 28.9.
The interquartile range is given by
IQR = Q3 - Q1 = 28.9 - 24 = 4.9
Therefore, the interquartile range (IQR) of the data set is 4.9.
