Question 251598: The number of dry cleaning orders picked up at Sunny Fresh Dry Cleaners was sampled over 4 hour periods. Compute the sample mean, median, mode, and midrange. Compute the 1st and 3rd quartiles and interpret their meanings.
I have the answers for mode, median, midrange, mean and the quartiles. I do not understand about interpreting their meanings.
Mean: 51.6 or 52
Median: 58
Mode: 61
Midrange: 46
Q1: 43.5
Q3: 61
Please help me interpret their meanings, as I have no idea what that means.

Plot those figures on a horizontal line.
Try to draw a density curve over the

Shows the majority of the pick-ups are iin the 4th
timing segment which is toward the end of the
business day.
