Transforming Statistics Data

Look at these numbers - 12, 14, 17, 8, 14. What is the correct way to put them in order so that you can find the median?

• 17, 14, 14, 8, 12

• 17, 14, 14, 12, 8

• 8, 12, 14, 14, 17

• 14, 8, 12, 17, 14

Values that divide a data set into four equal parts.

• Interquartile Range

• Outliers

• First Quartile

• Quartiles

A value much greater or much less than the others in a data set.

• Outlier
