Can you tell me the lower, median and upper quartile please?

21 52 76 49 49 74 47

Sure! To find the lower, median, and upper quartile, we first need to arrange the numbers in ascending order:

21, 47, 49, 49, 52, 74, 76

The lower quartile is the median of the lower half of the data set. In this case, the lower half is 21, 47, and 49. The median of these numbers is 47.

The median is the middle value of the data set when arranged in ascending order. In this case, the median is 49.

The upper quartile is the median of the upper half of the data set. In this case, the upper half is 52, 74, and 76. The median of these numbers is 74.

Therefore, the lower quartile is 47, the median is 49, and the upper quartile is 74.

Oh so if the numbers are not in order should I put them in order first before trying to solve?

Yes, that's correct! It's always a good idea to arrange the numbers in ascending order before finding the quartiles. This makes it easier to locate the lower, median, and upper quartiles within the data set. Once the numbers are in order, it will be easier to identify the necessary values to calculate the quartiles.
