Flavia wanted to know if the first sample quartile (or Q1) was an unbiased estimator of the first population quartile. She started with a large population of normally distributed grades, the first quartile of which was Q = 70. She then took a random sample of 6 tests and calculated the first quartile of the sample. She replaced those exams and repeated this process a total of 50 times. Her results are summarized in the dot plot below, where each point represents the first sample quartile of a sample of 6 exams. Based on these results, does the first sample quartile appear to be a biased or unbiased estimator of the first population quartile? Track; the first population quartile is 70.
