Despite your spelling errors, I realize you want the "5 number summary". This is actually pretty simple to find. These numbers are used in drawing a box and whisker plot. The 5 measurements you want are:

minimum and maximum
median
Q1 and Q3, also known as the 1st and 3rd quartile (these are 25% and 75% marks, basically the medians of the lower half and upper halfs)

First, arrange your data from lowest to greatest:
1, 2, 4, 5, 5, 7, 7, 8, 8, 8, 9

min = 1
max = 9
median = 7 (middle number)

To find the Q1 (1st quartile) find the middle number of the lower half (minimum to median).

1, 2, 4, 5, 5

So the Q1 is 4.

Do the same to find Q3 with the upper half.

7, 8, 8, 8, 9

Q3 is 8.


So your 5 number summary is:

min = 1
Q1 = 4
med = 7
Q3 = 8
max = 9
