Quartile 1

This document provides examples and problems for finding the quartiles of data sets. Quartiles divide a data set into four equal parts, with the first quartile being the median of the lower half of the data and the third quartile being the median of the upper half. The problems give data sets and ask the reader to find the first, second, and third quartiles by arranging the data in increasing order and taking the median or other specified values. The document also provides the answers.
