Answer 1

To find the third quartile (Q3), you can follow these steps:

1. Arrange the data in numerical order: 32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46, 48
2. Calculate the median of the upper half of the data. In this case, the upper half is 40, 42, 44, 46, 48. The median of this upper half is (42 + 44) / 2 = 43.
3. Therefore, the third quartile (Q3) is 43.
