Accepted Solution
A:
Answers are: Choice D) more than 102 Choice E) between 90 and 102 messages Choice F) less than 78 So there are three answers here
The reason for choice D is that 25% of the values are above Q3 (third quartile) which is 102 in this case. Take 25% of 100 to get 25. So there are 25 people who send more than 102 messages
The reason for choice E is that 25% of the data is between the median and Q3.
The reason for choice F is similar to choice D. Twenty five percent of the data values are smaller than Q1 (first quartile) which is 78.
