I am working on finding the Q1 and Q3 of this Five Number summary and I am having difficulty finding the Q3. I have the minimum, Median and Maximum. The chart is posted below. State     Unemployment Rate Vermont   2.10% North Dakota 2.40% Iowa   2.50% New Hampshire  2.50% Hawaii   2.70% Colorado    2.80% Utah   2.80% Virginia   2.80% Idaho    2.90% Maine   2.90% Massachusetts 2.90% South Dakota 2.90% Alabama    3.10% Nebraska   3.10% Wisconson 3.10% Kansas   3.20% Missouri   3.20% New Jersey 3.20% Oklahoma 3.20% South Carolina  3.20% Florida   3.30% Indiana   3.30% Minnesota 3.30% Montana   3.30% Arkansas    3.40% Delaware  3.40% Texas   3.40% Tennessee 3.50% Connecticut 3.60% Georgia    3.60% Rhode Island 3.60% Wyoming   3.70% Maryland   3.80% Pennsylvania 3.90% Illinois    4.00% New York   4.00% Oregon   4.00% California  4.10% Nevada   4.10% Ohio   4.10% Michigan   4.20% North Carolina 4.20% Louisiana  4.30% Kentucky   4.40% Washington 4.60% West Virginia 4.60% New Mexico 4.90% Arizona   5.00% Mississippi 5.20% Alaska   6.20% I believe the Q1 is 2.90 (South Dakota) since it is the middle of the Minimum side with 11 state unemployment rates on both sides. This was not the case with the Maximum side, as there are an uneven number of states on one side or another whenever I atempt to find the Q3. May you please help me find the Minimum, Q1, Median, Q3 and Maximum of this chart using the Five Step Number Summary?    Thank you,                      Josh Portman
