How to calculate range for grouped data?

Range = largest value - smallest value of intervals.

Calculate the range for weights: 45kg to 65kg.

Range = 65 - 45 = 20kg.

What is Q₁ position formula for total frequency n?

Q₁ position = n / 4.

Calculate Q₂ position for n = 120.

Q₂ position = 120 / 2 = 60th value.

How to find Q₃ using cumulative frequency?

Q₃ position = 3n / 4.

Estimate Q₁ for cumulative frequency of 30.

Use linear interpolation in the relevant class.

What is the formula for IQR?

IQR = Q₃ - Q₁.

Calculate IQR if Q₁ = 4.5km, Q₃ = 14km.

IQR = 14 - 4.5 = 9.5km.

What does '45 ≤ w < 50' mean?

45 is included, 50 is not included.

Why use linear interpolation for quartiles?

It estimates values within class intervals accurately.
