To find the third quartile, first rearrange the data in ascending order:
45.5, 46.9, 47.2, 47.5, 48.1, 49.7, 52.1, 53.3
Since there are 8 data points, the third quartile would be the average of the 6th and 7th values:
Third quartile = (49.7 + 52.1) / 2 = 50.9
Therefore, the third quartile in this dataset is 50.9.
