Work Step by Step

a. $Q2(median)= ( 20th \& 21th ) /2 = 44, Q1 = (1\div4\times40)th = 10th = 37, Q3= (3\div4\times40)th = 30th = 48,$ Interquartile Range = Q3-Q1 = 48-37= 11, The value 49 fall in the 3rd quartile . b. Percentile (91st) = $20\times(91\div100) = 36th = 52$. Around 91% of the days the number of text messages sent by the school student is less than 52. c. Percentile of 40 or higher = $(28\div40)\times100 = 70%$ c. 70%
