Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the quartiles, we must first order the data set: 1 3 5 6 7 9 100.

The median (Q2) is the middle number, which in this case is 6.

To find Q1, we split the data set into two halves: 1 3 5 and 6 7 9 100. Q1 is the median of the first half, which is 3.

To find Q3, we again split the data set into two halves: 1 3 5 6 and 7 9 100. Q3 is the median of the second half, which is 9.

Therefore, the first, second, and third quartiles are 3, 6, and 9. So, the correct answer is C.
