Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. The dataset contains seven data points: 5,8,0,3,2,7,4 5, 8, 0, 3, 2, 7, 4 .
2. Q1, or the first quartile, is the median of the lower half of the dataset.

STEP 2

1. Order the data points.
2. Determine the lower half of the dataset.
3. Find the median of the lower half to determine Q1.

STEP 3

List the data points:
5,8,0,3,2,7,4 5, 8, 0, 3, 2, 7, 4

STEP 4

Order the data points:
0,2,3,4,5,7,8 0, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8

STEP 5

Identify the lower half of the dataset. Since there are 7 data points, the lower half includes the first 3 data points:
0,2,3 0, 2, 3

STEP 6

Find the median of the lower half. The median of 3 values is the 2nd value:
2 2
The value of Q1 is:
2 \boxed{2}
