uantitative data with absolute zero. Thus, by use of Ratio Level we can compare the values of the variable with highest level and lowest level.
Solution 2: The scores of the 10 students are given as follows:
5,7,2,1,3,4,8,8,6,6
Now arrange the data in the ascending order as follows:
1,2,3,4,5,6,6,7,8,8
First quartile,
Third quartile,
Thus, interquartile range, IQR

Solution 3: The survey is conducted on 550 people.
Number of people have brown eyes
Thus, percentage of people have brown eyes,
Percentage of people have blue eyes
Thus, percentage of people has blue eyes or brown eyes

Solution 4: The city mileages of 12 gasoline-powered midsize cars are given as follows:
18,15,16,19, 20,21,22,21,24,21,27,20
Arrange the data in increasing order
15,16,18,19,20,20,21,21,21,22,24,27
The first quartile,
Third quartile,

Thus, IQR

Thus, outliers’ limits are given as follows:
Since one value lies outside the range. Hence there is one outlier is present.
The minimum value in data
The maximum value in data
The median

Hence five number summary is given as follows:
The box plot is given as follows:
Solution 5: The responses of the people towards football are given as follows:
