The first quartile is the value that separates the lowest 25% of the data from the rest. To identify the first quartile in this dataset, we first need to arrange the data in ascending order:

0, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 6, 6, 7, 9, 11, 12

The median of the lower half of the data is between the 4th and 5th values (3 and 3), which are both equal. Therefore, the first quartile is 3.

To identify the third quartile (Q3), which separates the highest 25% of the data from the rest, we first need to arrange the data in ascending order:

45.5, 46.9, 47.2, 47.5, 48.1, 49.7, 52.1, 53.3

The median of the upper half of the data is between the 4th and 5th values, which are 48.1 and 49.7. The average of these two values is (48.1 + 49.7) / 2 = 47.9. Therefore, the third quartile (Q3) is 47.9. However, 47.8 is the closest option provided, so we will select that as our answer.

The range of a dataset is calculated by subtracting the minimum value from the maximum value. In this case, the minimum value is 13 and the maximum value is 98.

Range = Maximum Value - Minimum Value
Range = 98 - 13
Range = 85

Therefore, the range of the given dataset {51, 13, 98, 42, 76, 28} is 85.
