Answer:
(a)The median for the longboards was 13.5 days, and the median for the shortboards was 13 days, showing that those with longboards typically surfed more days in this month.
(b)The interquartile range for the longboards was 10 days, and the interquartile range for the shortboards was 10.5 days, showing more variation in the days surfed this month for the shortboards.
Step-by-step explanation:
Longboard:
2, 7, 16, 13, 10, 18, 7, 8, 15, 15, 19, 17, 3, 10, 11, 16, 24 5, 20, 6, 9, 11, 8, 21, 22, 18, 14, 12, 16, 24
Sorting in ascending order, we have:
[tex]2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 7, \boxed{8, 8}, 9, 10, 10, 11, 11, 12, \boxed{13, 14,} 15,15, 16, 16, 16, 17, \boxed{18, 18}, 19, 20, 21, 22, 24 , 24[/tex]
Median [tex]=\dfrac{13+14}{2}=13.5[/tex]
[tex]Q_1=\dfrac{8+8}{2}=8 \\Q_3=\dfrac{18+18}{2}=18\\$Interquartile range, Q_3-Q_1=18-8=10[/tex]
Shortboard
17, 16, 7, 5, 13, 8, 7, 6, 15, 8, 8, 16, 10, 23, 24, 10, 20, 16, 16, 24, 23, 14, 6, 12, 10, 7, 12, 25, 13, 22
Sorting in ascending order, we have:
[tex]5, 6, 6, 7, 7, 7, \boxed{8, 8,} 8, 10, 10, 10, 12, 12, \boxed{13, 13} 14, 15, 16, 16, 16, 16, \boxed{17, 20,} 22, 23, 23, 24, 24, 25[/tex]
Median [tex]=\dfrac{13+13}{2}=13[/tex]
[tex]Q_1=\dfrac{8+8}{2}=8 \\Q_3=\dfrac{17+20}{2}=18.5\\$Interquartile range, Q_3-Q_1=18.5-8=10.5[/tex]
Therefore:
(a)The median for the longboards was 13.5 days, and the median for the shortboards was 13 days, showing that those with longboards typically surfed more days in this month.
(b)The interquartile range for the longboards was 10 days, and the interquartile range for the shortboards was 10.5 days, showing more variation in the days surfed this month for the shortboards.
