Given the data below, which set of numbers contains the lower quartile, median, and upper quartile?

36, 28, 29, 31, 24, 32, 28, 38, 27

{24, 28.5, 33}
{28, 29, 34}
{27.5, 29, 34}
{27, 28.5, 33}

Put the data in order from least to greatest

24, 27, 28, 28, 29, 31, 32, 36, 38
          ^             ^              ^
      27.5(Q1)   29(Q2)     34(Q3)

The answer choice that you chose must have 27.5, 29, and 34 in it. Which would be the third choice, {27.5, 29, 34}

Hope this helps! :D
