Statistics: Finding the LOCATION of the first quartile

I have this question that I can't answer.

Given the data, what is the location of the first quartile?

23, 45, 60, 70, 92, 88, 50, 41, 31

How do I solve this problem?

What's the difference between finding the first quartile and the LOCATION of the first quartile.

I've googled it and all I find is how to find the 1st quartile.

PLEASE HELP!!!!

Marriageminded -

When n is odd (n = 9), include the median in the calculation of both the 1st and 3rd quartile.

So, if you include the median, the 1st quartile will contain these 5 data elements:

23 31 41 45 50

The middle of these is 41, so this is "position" number 3

Hope that helps

NOTE: Some statistics books do not include the median, so for this example only 23 31 41 45 would be used in the 1st quartile. This answer has position 2.5. Bottom line is that it depends what book or calculator you use (TI 83/84 uses this method)

The location of the first quartile is 42.
