b Q1 = 4.5th value
Q1 = 1017 hPa

Q1 = 24th value
Q1 = 37
Q3 = 72nd value
Q3 = 38

P90 = 57.8
90th percentile = 57.8 minutes, so more than 10% of customers have to wait longer than 57.8
minutes – not 56 minutes as stated by the firm.
P80 2.5 80 61
6 a
3.0 2.5 89 61
80th percentile = 2.84 m, so 80% of condors have a wingspan of less than 2.84 m.
b The 90th percentile is in the 3.0 ≤ w class. There is no upper boundary for this class, so it is not
possible to estimate the 90th percentile.
