First step is to order the data from least to greatest, which I'm sure you can do, then you can easily find everything else.

Yes, but I'm not confident in finding the first and third quartile. So I'm studying these data sets over and over to instill the process into my brain.

agent0smith · Answer

Find the first and third quartiles the same way you found the median - once you find the median, split the data into two sets, then basically you're finding the median of each of those.

When I got the median, which was 85, I was going to split the data into two sets, but when I do that, am i supposed to have the median (85) as the maximum in the first one, and then as the minimum in the second one?

As in ....... --> 60 65 75 75 75 (85) 
and then
....--> (85) 85 85 95 100 105

Wait, I think I've got it... These are my answers..
Median: 85
Minimum: 60
Maximum: 100
$$Q _{1}$$ : 75
$$Q _{3}$$ : 95

agent0smith · Answer

You don't use the median in the data sets, see the link i posted above for an example.

anonymous · Answer

So it would be 75 for the first set, and 95 for the second set, without the Median. Correct?
