OpenStudy (ajprincess):

Arrange the data in ascending order. then (n+1)/4th data is the first quartile. here n is the number of data given

OpenStudy (ajprincess):

what is n+1/4? here n=7

OpenStudy (ajprincess):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (ajprincess):

sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

201 230 257 218

OpenStudy (ajprincess):

after arranging the data in ascending order u will get it like this 201,218,242,257,265,275,301. let us find n+1/4. n-number of data given. in this case n=7 so n+1/4=7+1/4=2 so the first quartile is the second value in the arranged list. Does tht help? @pookiieluvzyhu
