PERCENTILES: a union leader is told that, when all workers salaries are considered, the first quartile is $20,750. explain what that means.

Q[1] the first quartile is the 25th percentile. Remember quartiles and percentiles relate to the median, not the mean. Q[2], the 2nd quartile is the median. In order to use quartiles you must rank your data lowest 1st and highest last.
