Answer:

-3, -3, 1, 2, | 2, 8, 12, 14

Lower quartile is negative 1

Because the middle number is the median because there is an odd set of numbers.

To find the quartile you have to arrange the numbers from lowest to highest.

When you find middle number you have to find the half of the lower half of the middle, which you will solve the lower quartile. Since there are even numbers you add the two middle numbers and divide it by 2. And you'll get the answer hope that helped
