Find the upper quartile of the following scores: 41, 29, 17, 2, 12, 33, 45, 18, 43 and 5.
Answer Details
To find the upper quartile, we first need to arrange the numbers in order from smallest to largest:
2, 5, 12, 17, 18, 29, 33, 41, 43, 45
The upper quartile divides the data set into quarters, with 25% of the data falling above this point. To find the upper quartile, we need to find the median of the upper half of the data set.
The upper half of the data set is:
29, 33, 41, 43, 45
The median of this data set is the middle number, which is 41. Therefore, the upper quartile is 41.
So the correct answer is.
