A histogram x axis, labeled, Cups of coffee sold, scaled in equal segments of 10. from 0 to 80.  y axis, labeled Frequency.  Starting at the left each segment has the following bar heights: 5, 9, 13, 10, 7, 5, 0, 1.

  1. Using the sorted data from the table and the histogram, and without using your calculator, what is the five-number summary (minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, maximum)?

    For quartiles:
    Look between the and the .
    Look between the s.
    Look between the and the .
