Solution:
(i) arranging the given data in ascending order; we have 2, 3, 5, 7, 9
Here, no. of observations = n = 5 (odd)
∴ M_d = size of \(\left(\frac{n+1}{2}\right)\)th observation = size of \(\left(\frac{5+1}{2}\right)\)th term = size of 3rd term = 5

(ii) The given data is already in ascending order.
Here no. of observations = n = 8 (even)
∴ Median = \(\frac{\left(\frac{n}{2}\right) \text { th term }+\left(\frac{n}{2}+1\right) \text { th term }}{2}\) = \(\frac{4 \text { th term }+5 \text { th term }}{2}\) = \(\frac{16+20}{2}\) = 18

(iii) Arranging the given data in ascending order; we have, 33, 44, 48, 51, 60, 61, 63

For Q₁ : Q₁ = size of \(\left(\frac{N+1}{4}\right)\)th item = size of \(\left(\frac{543+1}{4}\right)\)th item = size of 136th item = 40

Q₃ = size of 3 \(\left(\frac{\mathrm{N}+1}{4}\right)\)th item = size of 3 \(\left(\frac{543+1}{4}\right)\)th item = size of 408 th item = 60
∴ Interquartile range = Q₃ – Q₁ = 60 – 40 = 20
∴ Q.D = \(\frac{Q_3-Q_1}{2}\) = \(\frac{60-40}{2}\) = 10

Question 21.

Here l = 30; f= 120; c = 105; i = 10
∴ Q₁ = l + \(\frac{\frac{N}{4}-C}{f}\) × i = 30 + \(\frac{150-105}{120}\) × 10 = 30 + 3.75 = 33.75

For Q₃ : \(\frac{3N}{4}\) = \(\frac{3 \times 600}{4}\) = 450 which lies in 70-80
Here l = 70; f= 120; c = 420; i = 10
Q₃ = l + \(\frac{\frac{3 N}{4}-C}{f}\) × i = 70 + \(\frac{450-420}{120}\) × 10 = 72.5
∴ Interquartile range = Q₃ – Q₁ = 72.5 – 33.75 = 38.75
and Semi-interquartile range = \(\frac{Q_3-Q_1}{2}\) = 19.375
and Coeff. of Q.D = \(\frac{Q_3-Q_1}{Q_3+Q_1}\) = \(\frac{72.5-33.75}{72.5+33.75}\) = \(\frac{38.75}{106.25}\) = 0.365
