Q3 = 3N/4

Q3 = 3(23) / 4

Q3 = 69 / 4

Q3 = 17.25 or 17

Therefore, the Q3 is 18.

Q1 = N / 4
Q1= 23 / 4

Q1 = 5.75 or 6

Therefore, the Q1 is 13.

Now let’s solve the Quartile Deviation:

QD= Q3-Q1/2

QD = 18-13 / 2

QD = 5 / 2

QD = 2.5

Therefore, the Quartile Deviation is 2.5, then the score are more clustered score in the
median value.

Sample Variance

S2 = 353.6527/23-1

S2 = 16.075

Variance is 16. 075 which mean that the given score is greater than the spread of the data is
greater.

SAMPLE STANDARD DEVIATION

= √16.075
s2 = 4.009 or 4
The standard deviation is 4 which means that the scores in the distribution is close to the
mean and the scores are less dispersed.
