1, 1, 6, 10, 12, 13, 13, 14, 16, 19
Min:
Q1:
Med:
Q3:
Max:

Answer 1

min 1

Q1 = 6

med = 12.5

Q3 = 14

Max = 19

Explanation:

Min simply refers to the smallest value and that is 1

Q1 is the first quartile and the formula is;

Q1 = (n+ 1)/4

where n is the number of terms which is 10

Q1 = (10 + 1)/4 = 2.75

This is approximately 3 and the 3rd term is 6

med is the median value and that is 12 + 13 = 25/2 = 12.5

Q3 is the third quartile

Q3 = 3(n+ 1)/4 = 8.25 and that is the 8th term which is 14

Max is simply the highest in value and that is 19
