For 3 years of economic volatility in Country X, an economist tracked quarterly gross domestic product (GDP). The graph shows the percent differences in the inflation-adjusted euro value of the quarterly GDP from its level in Quarter 4 of 2010. For example, the graph shows the inflation-adjusted GDP for Quarter 2 of 2012 as 0.9% greater than the inflation adjusted GDP for Quarter 4 of 2010. The graph also shows the inflation-adjusted GDP for Quarter 1 of 2012 as 1.1% less than the inflation-adjusted GDP for Quarter 4 of 2010.
Select from the drop-down menus the options that create the most accurate statements, based on the information provided.
In the period 2011-2013, according to the graph, the inflation-adjusted euro value of quarterly GDP was least in .
To the nearest 0.1%, the median of the percent differences, as shown in the graph, in the inflation-adjusted euro value of quarterly GDP in the period 2011 - 2013 is percent.
I found this problem in the OG exam 5 and didn't see it anywhere. Since what the graph shows is the % over the 2010 GDP, you're looking for the lowest value out of all of the given values, which leads you to Q2 of 2013, -3.7%. What I did for the median was that I looked at the 4 negative values and counted them out, then found the highest 4 values (5.1, 4.8, 2.8, and 2.5) and took them out. Mentally I did the math with the last values, (0.3, 0.9, 1.1, and 2.5) which is just 0.9+1.1 divided by 2 to find the median.

Q1: In the period 2011-2013, according to the graph, the inflation-adjusted euro value of quarterly GDP was least in
Since all the inflation-adjusted euro value of quarterly GDP values are given as % change from Q4 2010, the value with the highest percent decrease is the least inflation-adjusted euro value of quarterly GDP. Q2 2013 was the highest decrease of \(-3.7\text{%}\)
Q2: To the nearest 0.1%, the median of the percent differences, as shown in the graph, in the inflation-adjusted euro value of quarterly GDP in the period 2011 - 2013 is
There are 12 values. The median value will be the average of \(6^{th}\) & \(7^{th}\) value.
\(6^{th}\) value is \(0.9\text{%}\) & \(7^{th}\) value is \(1.1\text{%}\). Average of these is \(1\text{%}\)
Hey how can the 6th and 7th value be that. I got it as 1.5 and 2.3

What you're not seeing is that there are negative values. There is no 2.3, only -2.3. Since negative numbers are less than 0, you take out the 4 negative numbers. I also have an explanation in the spoiler.

You aren't ignoring any values. The order of the values goes as follows: -3.7, -2.3, -1.1, -0.5, 0.3, 0.9, 1.1, 1.5, 2.5, 2.8, 4.8, 5.1. Since there are 12 values, you take the 6th and 7th value, 0.9 and 1.1 respectively, and take the average, which is 1.0.
