A survey was given to 18 students. One question asked about the one-way distance the student had to travel to attend college. The results, in miles, are shown in the following table. Use the median procedure for finding quartiles to find the first, second, and third quartiles for the data. Distance Traveled to Attend College 41 47 15 25 61 77 3 35 37 37 5 67 69 37 87 29 25 43 Part 1 of 4 To find the median, or second quartile, first sort the numbers in order from smallest to largest. 3, 5, 15, , 25, 29, 35, 37, 37, 37, 41, 43, , 61, 67, , 77, 87
