Cam someone explain Week 3 AQ-5 Question 6 to me? 
The value of 75th percentile comes out to be 6.75. hence, it should be estimated to the 7th element since it is the nearest. But the question seems to be rounding off to the 6th. How is it possible?

Hi,
I guess you are not arranging the data in the increasing order. After arranging the data in arranging order, you will find that it's at 7th place not at 6th place.

Thanks,

Range is defined as the difference between the maximum value and minimum values. From the boxplot, find the max and min and then range.
