can the average number be higher than the top quartile

Question

I'm looking at a report with Low Quartile/Med/average/Top Quartile. In a couple of the data points the averages exceed the number for the Top Quartile. For example: LOW QUARTILE/ MEDIAN/ AVERAGE / TOP QUARTILE resulted in $2.14 /$2.87 / $5.33 / $4.17 Is this possible in a data with roughly 70-90 datapoints at a time? I'm wondering if there was a typo by the vendor who produced the reports for us.

Answer 1

logik sae NO... me assume the lo-quarter number is the TOP av the bottom (1/4) av the data points... bi that logik, the top-quarter number gotta be the biggest number=the 100% point... me dout em meen that... yu need tu find out how stat-man define the quarters=wot the ansers meen.... how du em get the 2.14 & 4.17????... In NE kase, average av the top 25% gotta be > averaej av the 100%
