The table below summarizes a cat breeder’s records for kitten litters born in a given year. You can divide the data into four equal part using quartiles.

You know that the median of a data set divides the data into a lower half and an upper half. The median of the lower half is the lower quartile, and the median of the upper half is the upper quartile.
Find the lower and upper quartiles for the data set.

A box-and-whisker plot shows the distribution of data. The middle half of the data is represented by a “box” with a vertical line at the median. The lower fourth and upper fourth quarters are represented by “whiskers” that extend to the minimum (least) and maximum (greatest) values.
