Answer 1

Answer:

1st  Qtrl:  11

Median:  20.5

3rd Qtrl:  25.5

Range:  22

Step-by-step explanation:

Median = average of 2 middle values (18 + 23) / 2

1st Qtrl = average of 10 and 12 (the lower half of data)

3rd Qtrl = average of 25 and 26 (the upper half of data)

Range = largest value - smallest value;  30 - 8 = 22
