The middle of the second half minus the middle of the first half which is going to be equal to eight. So the interquartile rangeįor this first example is going to be 13 minus five. To calculate the interquartile range, I just have to find the differenceīetween these two things. I have the middle of the second half, 13. Two which is equal to 13 but an easier way for numbers like this, you say hey, 13 is right exactly If you took 12 plus 14 over two, that's going to be 26 over The average of 12 andġ4 is going to be 13, is going to be 13. I'm gonna look at the middle two numbers. You can imagine it right over there and then the middle of the second half I'm gonna have to do the same thing. So the average of four and six, halfway between four and six is five or you could say four plus six is, four plus six is equal to 10 but then I wanna divide that by two so this is going to be equal to five. Middle two numbers here and I'm gonna take their average. Using the middle two numbers so I'm gonna look at the So we're gonna ignore the median here and just look at these first four numbers and so out of these first four numbers, since I have an even number of numbers, I'm gonna calculate the median It's a measure of spread, how far apart all of these data points are and so let's figure out the Left and four to the right and the interquartile range is all about figuring out the difference between the middle of the first half and the middle of the second half. I have an odd number of numbers here and it's going to be the number that has four to the leftĪnd four to the right and that middle number, the I have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine numbers so there's going to be So the first thing we wanna do is figure out the median here. There doesn't seem toīe an eight or a nine but then we get to a 10 and then we get to 11, 12. So then there is a sixĪnd then there's a seven. Then I have another four and then I have anotherįour and let's see, are there any fives? No fives but there is a six. You could just drag these, you could just click andĭrag these numbers around to sort 'em but I'll just do it by hand. Alright, so let's first sort it and if we were actually doing this on the Khan Academy exercise, Range of the data set and I encourage you to do thisīefore I take a shot at it. Sort the data from least to greatest and then find the interquartile The following data points represent the number of animal crackers I'm just gonna solve it on my scratch pad. Let's get some practice calculating interquartile ranges and I've taken some exercises from the Khan Academy exercises here.
