+Minnie L Hi Minnie, sorry but I do not like that method as I find it confusing for the majority of students and consequently I purposely don't teach it in that way as I believe it is misleading.
this may be a silly question but is this how you do all of these questions when finding out medians etc. Because I would have generally just done 12/4 to find q1 which would've have given me the 3rd value and it has worked for me on most occasions apart from this one. So my question is should I always use this method when finding out the quartiles?
to find Q1, I used (12+1):4 and I got 3.25th. I think that my method is the same as yours but I got the wrong answer, I am very confused between them two. Could you please explain why did you decide to use (6+1):2 instead of (12+1):4 ? Thank you.
Yes, I came across this today also when I was doing my work adn was puzzled as to why you would add 1 to to find out the LQ,UQ?
Hello Stuart, thanks for all your help, but I'm also confused with the method used as I've also been taught to use the n+1/4 mehod for LQ,

+ExamSolutions oh ok, but why do my answers not match up with the ones on the vid? does it mean I've done something wrong ...
+ExamSolutions I understood how you got your answers , it's just mine didn't match up with the method we've been taught
