IQR for Quiz 1 = 85-30= 55
IQR for Quiz 2 = 90-35 = 55
Thus Quiz 1 has lower IQR value.
(c) Both quizzes
have the same value requested
Q9.
Q3 for Quiz 1 is 85 thus more than 25% of the values are over 80 for quiz 1 and Q3, for Quiz 2 is 90 so 25% of the values are over 90 for quiz 2.
Hence Quiz 2 has the greater percentage of students with grades 80 and over.
