a. determine the median number of calls
b. determine the 1st and 3rd quartiles
c. determine the first decile and the ninth decile
d. determine the 33rd percentile

Following are the solution to the given points:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given values:

Total staff=40

In point a:

To calculate the median number first we arrange the value into ascending order and then collect the even numbers of calls that were also made. Its average of the middle terms is thus the median.

The midterms =55 and 59 so,

Median =

In point b:

First-quarter

The first quarterlies are

therefore the multiply of 0.5  by calculating the difference of the 7th and 8th term are:

therefore the it is multiply by the 0.5 for the difference of the 22nd and 23rd term:

In point c:

First decile

In point d:

quartiles are:

The right answers for the decile are:

-362

step-by-step explanation:

(12)(4)+2(12)-34(12)+2(12)-3
