Your Input

Find the 5 number summary of $$$1$$$, $$$-5$$$, $$$2$$$, $$$4$$$, $$$-3$$$, $$$6$$$, $$$7$$$, $$$0$$$, $$$2$$$, $$$5$$$, $$$-4$$$, $$$7$$$.

Solution

The first step is to sort the values.

The sorted values are $$$-5$$$, $$$-4$$$, $$$-3$$$, $$$0$$$, $$$1$$$, $$$2$$$, $$$2$$$, $$$4$$$, $$$5$$$, $$$6$$$, $$$7$$$, $$$7$$$.

Now we immediately see that the minimum value is $$$-5$$$ and the maximum value is $$$7$$$.

The first quartile $$$Q_{1}$$$ is $$$- \frac{3}{2}$$$ (for steps, see lower quartile calculator).

The median (second quartile) is $$$2$$$ (for steps, see median calculator).

The third quartile $$$Q_{3}$$$ is $$$\frac{11}{2}$$$ (for steps, see upper quartile calculator).

Answer

Minimum: $$$-5$$$A.

Lower (first) quartile: $$$- \frac{3}{2} = -1.5$$$A.

Median (second quartile): $$$2$$$A.

Upper (third) quartile): $$$\frac{11}{2} = 5.5$$$A.

Maximum: $$$7$$$A.
