To find the 25th percentile, first, arrange the data in ascending order: 74, 75, 76, 77, 79, 79, 81, 81, 81, 81, 82, 82, 82, 83. The 25th percentile falls at the 3.5th position (25% of 14 = 3.5), which means it is between the 3rd and 4th values in the ordered list. The 3rd value is 76 and the 4th value is 77. Since the question asks for the 25th percentile value, not the calculation of the exact position, we look at the value that represents the 25th percentile in the context of this dataset, which is 77, the value at or just above the 25th percentile position.
