Example 1:
An online seller recorded the number of
customers who sent him a personal
message each hour in a day.
The results were
14, 10, 12, 9, 17, 5, 8, 9, 14, 10 and 11.
Find the lower quartile, upper quartile and
the average of the lower quartile and the
upper quartile of the data.
14, 10, 12, 9, 17, 5, 8, 9, 14, 10, 11
Step 1. Arrange the data in ascending order:
5 8 9 9 10 10 11 12 14 14 17
Step 2. Solve for the location of the lower quartile and the upper quartile.
LOWER QUARTILE OR UPPER QUARTILE OR
Step 3. Locate for the score corresponding to the obtained location in the distribution.
𝑸 𝟏=𝟗 𝑸 𝟑=𝟏𝟒
Step 4. Find the average of the lower quartile and the upper quartile.
𝑄 1+𝑄 3 9+14 23
𝐴𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑔𝑒= ¿ ¿ ¿ 11.5
2 2 2
𝑨𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒈𝒆=𝟏𝟏. 𝟓
Find the lower quartile, upper quartile and the average of
the lower quartile and the upper quartile of the data.
The lower quartile is 9, upper quartile is 14 and the
average of the lower quartile and the upper quartile is
11.5.
Example 2:
›Joyce is a secretary in one
big company in Bataan. Her
