To find the quartiles, we first need to arrange the data in ascending order:

21, 22, 22, 25, 25, 36, 46, 61, 82

Q1 (25th percentile): There are 9 numbers in the data set, so Q1 is the 25th percentile, or (25/100)*9 = 2.25. Since this falls between the second and third numbers, we take the average of the 2nd and 3rd numbers:
Q1 = (22 + 22) / 2 = 22

Median (50th percentile): The median is the middle number in a sorted list. Since there are an odd number of data points (9 in this case), the median is the middle number:
Median = 25

Q3 (75th percentile): Q3 is the 75th percentile, or (75/100)*9 = 6.75. Since this falls between the 6th and 7th numbers, we take the average of the 6th and 7th numbers:
Q3 = (36 + 46) / 2 = 41

Interquartile Range (IQR): The interquartile range is calculated by subtracting Q1 from Q3:
IQR = Q3 - Q1 = 41 - 22 = 19

Therefore, Q1 = 22, median = 25, Q3 = 41, and the interquartile range is 19.

To check the answers provided, let's calculate the quartiles and the interquartile range using the given data:

21, 22, 22, 25, 25, 36, 46, 61, 82

Q1 (25th percentile): 25% of 9 is 2.25, between the 2nd and 3rd values. Q1 = (22 + 22) / 2 = 22

Median (50th percentile): Middle value of the dataset, which is 25

Q3 (75th percentile): 75% of 9 is 6.75, between the 6th and 7th values. Q3 = (36 + 46) / 2 = 41

Interquartile Range (IQR): Q3 - Q1 = 41 - 22 = 19

Comparing the calculated values with the given options:
Q1 = 22, median = 25, Q3 = 41, IQR = 19

The closest option matches the calculated data, and the answers are as follows:
Q1 = 22
Median = 25
Q3 = 41
Interquartile Range = 19

Therefore, the given answers are correct.
