if the median of a list of numbers is m , the first quartile of the list is the median of the numbers in the list that are less than m . what is the first quartile of the list of numbers 42 , 24 , 30 , 34 , 26 , 36 , 33 and 35 ?
"it is given that a quartile is the middle number of all numbers less than median . . so lets arrange the number in ascending order - 42 , 24 , 30 , 34 , 26 , 36 , 33 and 35 24 , 26 , 30 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 42 . . . numbers less than median are 24 , 26 , 30 , 33 . . the median of these numbers = center of 26 and 30 = 28 b"
divide(add(24, 26), const_2)
