4.0, 4.1, 4.4, 4.4, 4.5, 4.9, 5.1, 5.1, 5.7, 5.8, 5.9, 6.1, 6.5
First quartile, second quartile (median) and third quartile divide the data distribution into four equal halves. The median or second quartile is middle value.
As there are total 13 data points, median will be 7th data point.
Median = 5.1
The first quartile divide the first 25% of data distribution from rest 75%. As there are 13 data points, the first quartile will be 4th data point. First quartile = 4.4
The third quartile divide the first 75% of data distribution from rest 25%. As there are 13 data points, the first quartile will be 9th data point. Third quartile = 5.8
2) Interquartile range = Third quartile - First quartile
IQR=Q_3-Q_1=5.8-4.4=1.4
Interquartile range = 1.4
The interquartile range is a measurement of variability, it is the difference between the largest and lowest data points of middle 50% of the data.
3) The five number summary are lowest value, Quartile-1, Median, Quartile-3, Highest value
Lowest value = 4.0
Quartile -1 = 4.4
Median = 5.1
Quartile - 3 = 5.8
highest value = 6.5
