Question 44263: Can someone help me on this problem?
I need to find the first and third quartiles, Q1 and Q3, of the following set of numbers:
0.16, 0.08, 0.27, 0.20, 0.22, 0.32, 0.25, 0.18, 0.28, 0.27
Thank you,
Sher

You can put this solution on YOUR website! First rearrange the numbers in ascending order...so that
0.16, 0.08, 0.27, 0.20, 0.22, 0.32, 0.25, 0.18, 0.28, 0.27
becomes
0.08, 0.16, 0.18, 0.20, 0.22, 0.25, 0.27, 0.27, 0.28, 0.32
The 1st and 3rd quartiles are the middle points of the left- and right-hand halves of the data, so our 1st and 3rd Q's are 0.18 and 0.27
