Mock Test Question 17

[Shayan Chakraborty]

Dear Team,

Can anyone please explain why option 1 is incorrect for Question 7? In other words why is 37.5 not the median or the 50th percentile of the dateset?

Thanks

[Shayan Chakraborty]

Min - 5

Q1- 25

Q3- 50

Max- 55

I know that we need to arrange in ascending order.  Where am I missing the point?

Thanking You

Whenever we deal with IQR  or we have to find percentile then always first we have to arrange it in ascending order......... This is rule....

25 is Q1 and 50 is Q3 right? Can you pl elaborate a bit on what exactly you mean by ordering in this problem?

Thanks & Regards

Hi,

Median or 50th percentile will lie between Q1 and Q3 (Can be equal too) but need not be equal to the exact midpoint of Q1 and Q3.
