Question Posted Thursday February 12 2015, 4:50 pm
Use the data from number 1 to answer this question: If South Carolina has a bachelor degree percentage rate of about 26 (the data entry is 26), into what quartile does it fall?
Having reviewed what a Quartile is I could be wrong her but I believe you may have left out some information to solve this problem. Did you supply all the data values?
In descriptive statistics, the quartiles of a ranked set of data values are the three points that divide the data set into four equal groups, each group comprising a quarter of the data. A quartile is a type of quantile. The first quartile (Q1) is defined as the middle number between the smallest number and the median of the data set. The second quartile (Q2) is the median of the data. The third quartile (Q3) is the middle value between the median and the highest value of the data set.
