how does the lower quartile of the data compare to the least value of the set?

#s=97,88,59,68,57,38,34,25,29,28

i don't understand the questionn help is needed. thanks!

First, you have to arrange the scores in order of value. With 10 scores, The lowest 2-3 (2.5) scores would comprise the lowest (rather than lower) quartile. The least value would be 25.

Is that what you are seeking?

I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
