Verified archiveTo find the minimum, first quartile (Q1), median, third quartile (Q3), and maximum of a data set, follow these steps:
1. Minimum: The smallest value in your data set.
2. First Quartile (Q1): The median of the lower half of the data (not including the median if there is an odd number of data points).
3. Median: The middle value of the data set when it is ordered.
4. Third Quartile (Q3): The median of the upper half of the data (not including the median if there is an odd number of data points).
5. Maximum: The largest value in your data set.
To calculate these, you first need to arrange your data in ascending order. Then, identify each of these five values based on how they are defined.
