Solution Steps

Step 1: Sort the Data

The sorted data is: [3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8, 8, 11, 13, 13, 15, 27]

Step 2: Calculate Quartile Positions

The position for the first quartile (Q1) is calculated as \(\frac{1}{4}(n+1)\) = 5.75 The position for the third quartile (Q3) is calculated as \(\frac{3}{4}(n+1)\) = 17.25

Step 3: Interpolation (if necessary)

Since the position for Q1 is not an integer, we interpolate to find Q1 = 4 Since the position for Q3 is not an integer, we interpolate to find Q3 = 8.75

Final Answer:

The first quartile (Q1) is 4 and the third quartile (Q3) is 8.75.
