ANSWER:
Solution
Step 1 of 2
a) We have to find the five number summary
From the given data arrange the given values in the ascending order
24, 26, 27, 28, 30, 32, 35, 35, 36, 39, 39, 41, 50, 51, 60
Minimum value =24
First quartile (Q1)=
=
=
=28
Median (Q2)=
=
=
=35
Third quartile (Q3)=
=
=
=41
Maximum value = 60
Hence the five number summary is
Minimum value =24
First quartile (Q1)=28
Median (Q1)=35
Third quartile (Q3)=41
Maximum value = 60
