Answer 1

min: 3

Q1: 6

median: 12

Q3: 14.5

max: 17

Explanation:

Put values in order of least to greatest value. Leftmost number is the minimum; rightmost number is the maximum. Middle number is the median (cross out values, alternating crossing out least and greatest values until 1 value is left). Find the median of the values to the left and right of the median; those are Q1 and Q3 respectively.
