Question
Calculate the coefficient of Quartile Deviation the given sets of data, and comment on both answer in term of dispersion. Data 01: 10, 16, 23, 34, 45, 33, 65, 43, 32, 23, 45, 33, 44.5, 65.2 and 34.8. Whereas, Data 02: 6.4, 6.9, 10.2, 4.7, 7.7, 8.9, 3.5, 2.2, 4.3, 6.7, 8.9, 11.26 and 6.8.
Expert Solution
Step 1

For data 01:

We first need to sort the frequency data given before proceeding with the quartiles calculation

Sorted data = 10, 16, 23, 23, 24, 32, 33, 33, 34.8, 43, 44.5, 45, 45, 65, 65.2

n = 15

First quartile Q1 =
