Find the inter-quartile range for the following data:
3,11,32,8,14,1,10,27,22,4,30
23
We first arrange the terms of the given data in ascending order as follows:
1,3,4,8,10,11,14,22,27,30,32
No of terms n = 11, which is an odd number.
∴ Lower quartile (Q1) = (n+1)th4 = term = 11+14 = 3rdterm = 4
Upper quartile (Q3) = 3(n+1)4)th term = 9th term = 27
Inter quartile = Q3−Q1 = 27−4 = 23
