To gain a place in the main race of a car rally, teams must
compete in a qualifying round. The median time in the
qualifying round determines the cut off time to make it
through to the main race. Below are some results from the
qualifying round.
75% of teams finished in 156 minutes or less.
25% of teams finished in 123 minutes or less.
25% of teams finished between with a time between 123
and 142 minutes.

a. Determine the cut off time required in the first round to

make it through to the main race.

b. Determine the interquartile range in the qualifying

round.

c. In the qualifying round, the ground was wet, while in

the main race, the ground was dry. To make the times
more comparable, the finishing time of each team
from the qualifying round is reduced by 5 minutes.
What would be the new median time from the
qualifying round?
