The weight in gram of 15 packets of sweets are: 55.0,55.3,55.3,55.3,55.5,55.6,55.8, 55.9,56.1,56.2,56.2,56.4,56.7,56.7, 56.8. Write down the value of the medium and quartiles

Given:

The weight in gram of 15 packets of sweets are: 55.0, 55.3, 55.3, 55.3, 55.5, 55.6, 55.8, 55.9, 56.1, 56.2, 56.2, 56.4, 56.7, 56.7, 56.8.

To find:

The value of the median and quartiles.

Solution:

We have,

55.0, 55.3, 55.3, 55.3, 55.5, 55.6, 55.8, 55.9, 56.1, 56.2, 56.2, 56.4, 56.7, 56.7, 56.8

Divide the data set in two equal parts.

(55.0, 55.3, 55.3, 55.3, 55.5, 55.6, 55.8), 55.9, (56.1, 56.2, 56.2, 56.4, 56.7, 56.7, 56.8)

Divide each parenthesis in two equal parts.

(55.0, 55.3, 55.3), 55.3, (55.5, 55.6, 55.8), 55.9, (56.1, 56.2, 56.2), 56.4, (56.7, 56.7, 56.8)

Now,

First quartile = 55.3

Second quartile = Median = 55.9

Third quartile = 56.4

Therefore, the median is 55.9 and the three quartiles are 55.3, 55.9, 56.4 respectively.

plants store their excess carbohydrate in the form of starch so that it could be used as energy source later on. the excess carbohydrate is converted into starch in the plastid i.e. chloroplast & this process occurs in the presence of sunlight. it is an insoluble polymer of glucose which gets stored in cell organelles named as amyloplasts. in some plants, starch is also stored in roots and embryos.

0.6, 3/5, and 6% are the 3 same portion.

but, when they're all changed to a decimal they would equal to 0.6.

hope this , good luck!
