Okay. So the IQR tells the variation of the middle fifty percent of the data, but the sd is less reliable if there are outliers. Does this mean that the IQR and sd don't have a relationship, since sd is not resistant? Would both cases be possible, then?
Homework Statement
There are 10 observations.
(a) Suppose the IQR is 8. Is it possible that the standard deviation is 1?
(b) Suppose the standard deviation is 8. Is it possible that the IQR is 1?

Consider a linear system dx/dt = Ax of arbitrary size. Suppose x1(t) and x2(t) are solutions of the system. Is the sum x(t) = x1(t) + x2(t) a solution as well? How do you know?

Using the Gram-Schmidt process, I get [-1/2 -1/2 1] as the unnormalized second vector. So am I allowed to multiply this by 2 and normalize that to get the second vector in the orthonormal basis?
Okay, so if I normalize [-1 1 0], I get 1/sqrt(2)[-1 1 0] which is what the examples indicate. However, if I normalize [-1 0 1], I get 1/sqrt(2)[-1 0 1], which doesn't match the example. I don't get how they got 1/sqrt(6)[-1 -1 2] from [-1 0 1].
The examples state that the normalization has been done through Gram-Schmidt but I don't get the same results when I try to normalize them with Gram-Schmidt. Is there another way of normalizing?

Yes, I know that there's an infinite number of answers but I was wondering whether there was a structured method for finding one.
Thank you for your explanation!

Thanks for your help. I understand how to approach the other problems but I'm still unsure about #4.
Is the dimension n-1 because there's a free variable? In other words, n-1 number of leading 1's in the rref form?
