Final answer:

To determine the minimum, maximum, and quartile values of the given data set, sort the data in ascending order, and then identify the minimum, maximum, first quartile (Q1), and third quartile (Q3) values.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the minimum, maximum, and quartile values, we first need to sort the data set in ascending order: {0.1, 0.5, 0.02, 0.1, 0.2, 0.05, 0.3, 0.03, 0.02, 0.3, 0.2, 0.1, 0.5, 0.6}.

When we do that, we get: {0.02, 0.02, 0.03, 0.05, 0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 0.2, 0.2, 0.3, 0.3, 0.5, 0.5, 0.6}.

The minimum value is 0.02, and the maximum value is 0.6. To find the quartiles, we divide the data into four equal parts. The first quartile (Q1) is the median of the lower half of the data, which is 0.1.

The third quartile (Q3) is the median of the upper half of the data, which is 0.3.
