Question 1 of 6
1. Question
Find the interquartile range of the dot plot.
- `\text(IQR )=` (2)
Correct
Well Done!
Incorrect
Interquartile Range
`\text(IQR )=``\text(Q)_\text(Upper)``-``\text(Q)_\text(Lower)`Remember
The lower quartile is the median of the lower half of the data set, while the upper quartile is the median of the greater half of the data set.First, take note that there is a total of `12` scores on the dot plot, which is an even number.Therefore, the median of the data set will be the average of the scores on the `6th` and `7th` position.
`\text(Median)` `=` `(4+4)/2` `=` `8/2` `=` `4` The median divides the data set into two quartiles, each with `6` values.To find the lower and upper quartiles, find the median of both the lower and greater halves.
`\text(Lower Quartile)` `=` `3` 
`\text(Upper Quartile)` `=` `5` Finally, use the formula to get the interquartile range.`\text(IQR)` `=` `\text(Q)_\text(Upper)``-``\text(Q)_\text(Lower)` Interquartile Range formula `=` `5``-``3` Substitute values `=` `2` `\text(IQR)=2` -
