College/university administrators use the graduation rate as a barometer of student success at their respective institution. State legislators are interested in the graduation rate since most states subsidize the cost of educating each in-state student at public universities and colleges. Graduation rates are also used to evaluate university athletic programs. Athletic directors do not relish the negative publicity that results when the graduation rate of athletes is significantly lower than that of the general student body. This Excel file graduation rates shows recent 6-year graduation rates for athletes and the general student body at 26 universities. The institutions included are all ACC schools, NCSU peer-designated institutions, and two of the larger schools in the UNC system - ECU and UNC-Charlotte. Use the data above to find the quartiles and the median of the general student body graduation rates and the athlete graduation rates (use the method discussed in class for calculating quartiles; see the Tukey method on p.58 of the ebook/text or p. 23 in Lecture Unit 2 of the coursepack).% Q1, first quartile for general student body graduation rate % Q1, first quartile for athlete graduation rate % median, general student body graduation rate% median, athlete graduation rate% Q3, third quartile for general student body graduation rate% Q3, third quartile for athlete graduation rate
