Arrange Data in Ascending Order: Arrange the data set in ascending order if it is not already sorted.The given data set is already in ascending order: 17,18,23,30,49,50,51.
Find Median: Find the median of the data set.The data set has 7 numbers, so the median is the middle number, which is the fourth number in the list.Median: 30
Identify Lower Quartile Data: Identify the data set for the lower quartile.For the lower quartile, consider the first half of the data set, excluding the median.First half is 17, 18, 23.Lower quartile data: 17, 18, 23
Find Lower Quartile Value: Find the value of the lower quartile.The lower quartile data set has 3 numbers, so the lower quartile is the middle number.Lower quartile: 18
Identify Upper Quartile Data: Identify the data set for the upper quartile.For the upper quartile, consider the second half of the data set, excluding the median.Second half is 49, 50, 51.Upper quartile data: 49, 50, 51
Find Upper Quartile Value: Find the value of the upper quartile.The upper quartile data set has 3 numbers, so the upper quartile is the middle number.Upper quartile: 50
