Create a dataset of 7 numbers with the following 5 number summary. Explain your process.

Min = 5, Q1=7 ,  Median =10 , Q3=14,  Max =17 

Expert Solution
Step 1

Introduction:

Denote Q1, Q2, Q3 as the three quartiles, where Q2 is also called the median. By definition, observations lie below Q1 with 25% or 0.25 probability, below Q2 with 50% or 0.50 probability, and below Q3 with 75% or 0.75 probability.

The ith quartile, Qi, (i = 1, 2, 3) of a data set is such that (i/4) proportion of the observations in the data set fall below Qi. In case of an odd number of observations, n, in a raw data set as this one, when the data are arranged in an increasing or decreasing order, the ith quartile is:
