Answer to Question 1

There are 8 different projects you could rank first. Given that you have chosen the one ranked first, you have seven possible projects for the second position, then six for the third. Total number of combinations = 8 7 6 = 336

Minimum = x1, Q1 = x17, Median = x34, Q3 = x51, Maximum = x67
