find the first quartile of 7,8,7,9,11,8,7,9,6 and 8.

  • A 8.5
  • B 7.0
  • C 7.5
  • D 8.0

The correct answer is B. 7.0

Rearrange data in increasing order: 6,7,7,7,8,8,8,9,9 and 11

First quartile (ungrouped data) = \(\frac{n}{4}\)th value

= \(\frac{10}{4}\) 

= 2.5th value

= \(\frac{7 + 7}{2}\)

= 7.0
