Since they are already in order you know the 22 and the 61 are the upper and lower extremes. To find the median you find the number that is in the middle which is 42. To find the lower quartile find the middle number starting from the first number and the number to the left of the median (22 and 36 in this case). The loser quartile is 25. To find the upper quartile, fine the middle number between the number to the right of the median and the last number (44 and 61 in this case.) the upper quartile is 57 you then just plot it and graph it

Answer:
The bones were 12,485 years old at the time they were discovered.
Step-by-step explanation:
Amount of the element:
The amount of the element after t years is given by the following equation, considering the decay rate proportional to the amount present:
In which A(0) is the initial amount and k is the decay rate, as a decimal.
The radioactive element carbon-14 has a half-life of 5750 years.
This means that , and we use this to find k. So
So
A scientist determined that the bones from a mastodon had lost 77.8 % of their carbon-14. How old were the bones at the time they were discovered?
Had 100 - 77.8 = 22.2% remaining, so this is t for which:
Then
The bones were 12,485 years old at the time they were discovered.
