Roughly speaking, finding the third quartile is similar to finding the median. First, use the median to split the data set into two equal halves. Then the third quartile is the median of the upper half. Similarly, the first quartile is the median of the lower half.

What is the difference between a percentile and a quartile?

A quartile divides a grouping into four. The first quartile will have the first 25% of the group, the second quartile will have the second 25% of the group, the third quartile will have the third 25% of the group and the last quartile will have the last 25% of the group. For example if a classroom had 20 students who had all taken a test, you could line them up, the top 5 marks would be in the first quartile, the next five would be in the second quartile, the next 5 would be in the third quartile, and the 5 students with the lowest marks would be in the last quartile. Similarly, a percentile divides a grouping, except the group is divided into 100. Each 1% represent 1 percentile.
