(a) Find the 25^th percentile for the treatment times. Interpret this value. (b) The health clinic that 90% of all its patients have a treatment time of 40 minutes or less. Do the data support this claim? Yes NoExplanation / Answer
a]
25th Percentile for the treatment times is 13.75 minutes
Interpretation:
25% of treatment time of patients are less than 13.75 minutes.
There are 12 to 13 patients having treatment times is less than 13.75 minutes.
b]
The health clinic that 90% of all its patients have a treatment times of 40 minutes or less.
This statement is False. Because if we calculate 90% percentile we get 31.9 that is 32 minutes, and there are 90% of all its patients have treatment times of 32 minutes or less.
Hence the data does not support the claim.
