The table above shows the marks obtained by 100 pupils in a test. Find the upper class boundary of the class containing the third quartile.
- A. 13.0
- B. 16.0
- C. 16.5
- D. 22.5
Correct Answer: C. 16.5
Explanation
The third quartile can be found in the \((\frac{3N}{4})^{th}\) position
= \((\frac{3 \times 100}{4})^{th}\) position
This is found in the class 14 - 16.
The upper class boundary = 16.5
