Thread: Five Number Summary

Dataset: 34, 37, 40, 43, 46, 49, 50, 53, 55, 59, 60, 61, 61, 63, 64, 67, 71, 71, 72, 76

n = 20

Min = 34
Q1 = 46
Median = 59.5
Q3 = 67
Max = 76

This is all right, isn't it?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dataset: 0, 1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 6, 6, 6, 7, 7, 7, 8, 8, 8, 9, 11, 12

Median = 5
Q1 = 3.5
Q3 = 7
IQR = 3.5
Upper Boundary = 29.75
Lower Boundary = 7

I don't think that the boundaries are right, as they make 12 results outliers.

---

Please show me how to work these out.

What is the definition of the quartiles you have been given? For example a common definition for Q1 and Q3 in this case would put these at 47.5 and 65.5.

Quartiles and median are wrong.

Thanks.
