On each trial of an experiment, a subject is presented with a constant soft noise, which is interrupted at some unpredictable time by a noticeably louder sound. The time it takes for the subject to react to this louder sound is recorded. The following list contains the reaction times (in milliseconds) for the 19 trials of this experiment: 171, 212, 285, 175, 202, 269, 193, 217, 164, 231, 261, 236, 186, 257, 271, 229, 250, 296, 226 Send data to calculator Find 20th and 75th percentiles for these reaction times.

experiment:
171, 212, 285, 175, 202, 269, 193, 217, 164, 231, 261, 236, 186, 257, 271, 229, 250, 296, 226
Send data to calculator
Find 20th and 75th percentiles for these reaction times.
(If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)
(a)
The 20th
percentile: milliseconds
(b) The 75th percentile: milliseconds
