Given:
[tex]6,7,15,36,41,43,47,49[/tex]
To Find The Median
Use Process Of Elimination
[tex]36,41[/tex]
Then Split Those Numbers Apart
[tex]36,37,38,39,40,41[/tex]
Again Process Of Elimination
[tex]38,39[/tex]
You cannot split these whole numbers
Therefor Your Answer Is
[tex]38.5[/tex]
To Find The Quartiles
[tex]6,7,15,36,41,43,47,49[/tex]
[tex]Median:38.5[/tex]
Put The Given Into Pairs
[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}6&7\\15&36\\41&43\\47&49\end{array}\right][/tex]
Notice There Are 4 EVEN Pairs.
Ever Heard Of The Quote " Read Between The Lines "
There Are Spaces Between Each Of The 4 Pairs
Those Spaces Represent One Quartile
To Find The First Quartile
The First Space Of The EVEN Pairs Is Between 7 and 15
Split Those Numbers
[tex]7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15[/tex]
Process Of Elimination
[tex]11[/tex]
The Second Space Of The EVEN Pairs Is Actually The Median
To Find The Third Quartile
The Third Space Of The EVEN Pairs Is Between 43 and 47
Split Those Numbers
[tex]43,44,45,46,47[/tex]
Process Of Elimination
[tex]45[/tex]
To Find The Difference Of The Largest Value And Median
[tex]6,7,15,36,41,43,47,49[/tex]
[tex]Median:38.5[/tex]
[tex]Q1:11[/tex]
[tex]Q3:45[/tex]
The Median We All Know Is [tex]38.5[/tex]
The Largest Value Is [tex]49[/tex]
Subtract The Numbers
[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}49-38.5\end{array}\right][/tex]
[tex]10.5[/tex]
