13.625\text{13.625}

Step-by-step solution

6 steps
  1. Rearrange the data and count the number of data points.

    The given data points are: 9, 21, 49, 10, 40, 51, 28, 37, 18, 21, 22, 8, 30, 34, 12, 45, 43, 9, 31, 12.
    Rearranging the data in ascending order:

    8,9,9,10,12,12,18,21,21,22,28,30,31,34,37,40,43,45,49,508, 9, 9, 10, 12, 12, 18, 21, 21, 22, 28, 30, 31, 34, 37, 40, 43, 45, 49, 50

    The number of data points is n=20n = 20.

  2. Calculate the Range.

    The range is the difference between the maximum and minimum values in the dataset.
    Maximum value = 50
    Minimum value = 8

    Range=Maximum value−Minimum value=50−8=42\text{Range} = \text{Maximum value} - \text{Minimum value} = 50 - 8 = \boxed{\text{42}}
  3. Calculate the Lower Quartile (Q1).

    The position of the lower quartile (Q1) is given by the formula 14(n+1)th\frac{1}{4}(n+1)^{\text{th}}.

    Q1 position=14(20+1)th=14(21)th=5.25th\text{Q1 position} = \frac{1}{4}(20+1)^{\text{th}} = \frac{1}{4}(21)^{\text{th}} = 5.25^{\text{th}}

    This means Q1 is between the 5th and 6th values.
    The 5th value in the sorted data is 12.
    The 6th value in the sorted data is 12.

    Q1=5th value+0.25×(6th value−5th value)\text{Q1} = \text{5th value} + 0.25 \times (\text{6th value} - \text{5th value}) Q1=12+0.25×(12−12)=12+0.25×0=12\text{Q1} = 12 + 0.25 \times (12 - 12) = 12 + 0.25 \times 0 = 12
  4. Calculate the Upper Quartile (Q3).

    The position of the upper quartile (Q3) is given by the formula 34(n+1)th\frac{3}{4}(n+1)^{\text{th}}.

    Q3 position=34(20+1)th=34(21)th=15.75th\text{Q3 position} = \frac{3}{4}(20+1)^{\text{th}} = \frac{3}{4}(21)^{\text{th}} = 15.75^{\text{th}}

    This means Q3 is between the 15th and 16th values.
    The 15th value in the sorted data is 37.
    The 16th value in the sorted data is 40.

    Q3=15th value+0.75×(16th value−15th value)\text{Q3} = \text{15th value} + 0.75 \times (\text{16th value} - \text{15th value}) Q3=37+0.75×(40−37)=37+0.75×3=37+2.25=39.25\text{Q3} = 37 + 0.75 \times (40 - 37) = 37 + 0.75 \times 3 = 37 + 2.25 = 39.25
  5. Calculate the Interquartile Range (IQR).

    The interquartile range is the difference between the upper quartile (Q3) and the lower quartile (Q1).

    IQR=Q3−Q1=39.25−12=27.25\text{IQR} = \text{Q3} - \text{Q1} = 39.25 - 12 = \boxed{\text{27.25}}
  6. Calculate the Semi-Interquartile Range (SIQR).

    The semi-interquartile range is half of the interquartile range.

    SIQR=IQR2=27.252=13.625\text{SIQR} = \frac{\text{IQR}}{2} = \frac{27.25}{2} = \boxed{\text{13.625}}
