The median divides a data set into two halves. The set of numbers below the median is called the lower half and the set of numbers above the median is called the upper half. The median of the lower half is called the first quartile and is indicated by \( Q_1 \); the third quartile, denoted by \( Q_3 \), is the median of the upper half. The five-number summary of a set of data values consists of the minimum value, \( Q_1 \), median, \( Q_3 \), and the maximum.
Fill in the blanks.
