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
