Quartiles, box plots and outlier fences — objective 1
Maths4U Original · Short practice
The ordered values are \(12,14,16,16,18,20,22,24,26,28,30,32,34,36,38,42,52\). Exclude the overall median when forming the two halves, and take the median of each half as its quartile.
Find \(\displaystyle Q_{1}\).
Enter one number or fraction. Use at least six decimal places when needed; a distribution calculator may be used for probabilities.
