The Thomas Supply Company Inc. is a distributor of gas-powered generators. As with any business, the length of time customers take to pay their invoices is important. Listed below, arranged from smallest to largest, is the time, in days, for a sample of the Thomas Supply Company Inc. invoices. 13 13 13 20 26 28 30 34 34 34 35 35 36 37 38

41 41 41 45 46 47 47 49 52 54 54 56 62 67 82 (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) a. Determine the first and third quartiles.

b. Determine the second decile and the eight decile. c. Determine the 67th percentile.

Q1 = 33

Q3 = 49.75

D2 = 28.4

D8 = 29.6

67th percentile = 46.10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the dа ta:

13 13 13 20 26 28 30 34 34 34 35 35 36 37 38

41 41 41 45 46 47 47 49 52 54 54 56 62 67 82

The first quartile (Q1);

1/4 (n + 1)

Where n = number of observations

n = 30

Q1 = 0.25 (30 + 1) = 0.25 * 31 = 7.75

7 : corresponds to 30

0.75 : (34 - 30) * 0.75 = 4 * 0.75 = 3

30 + 3 = 33

Third quartile (Q3):

3/4 (n + 1)

Where n = number of observations

n = 30

Q3 = 0.75 (30 + 1) = 0.75 * 31 = 23.25

23 : corresponds to 49

0.25 : (52 - 49) * 0.25 = 3 * 0.25 = 0.75

49 + 0.75 = 49.75

Determine the second decile and the eighth decile.

Second decile (D2)

((n+1) * (2)) / 10

= (30 + 1) (2) / 10 = 6.2

6 : corresponds to 28 +

0.2 : (30 - 28) * 0.20 = 0.4

28 + 0.4 = 28.4

Eight decile (D8)

((n+1) * (8)) / 10

= (30 + 1) (8) / 10 = 24.8

24 : corresponds to 52 +

0.8 : (54 - 52) * 0.80 = 1.6

28 + 1.6 = 29.6

67th percentile:

67% * n = 0.67 * 30 = 20.10

20: corresponds to 46

0.1 : (47 - 46) * (0.1) = 0.1

46 + 0.1 = 46.10
