you do work out the upper and lower quartile
Subtract the lower quartile from the upper quartile.
A quartile is 1/4 or 25% of the total. So if you the population is 24 (say in a classroom), then a quartile is 6. Sort the grades lowest to highest, then the bottom 6 are in the lower quartile. The grade for #6 is the lower quartile.
in a set as such {2,3,4,5,6,7,8,}, 5 would be the median, 7 would be the upper quartile, and 3 would be the lower quartile. The lower quartile divides the lower half of a set of data into two equal parts
the interquartile is just subtracting the high quartile from the low quartile. * * * * * No, it is subtracting the lower quartile from the higher quartile.
25% of the observed values are smaller than the lower quartile.
IQR = Inter-Quartile Range = Upper Quartile - Lower Quartile.
No, interquartile range cannot be for any data. The lower quartile for data must be used below the lower quartile.
lower quartile = 1/4(n+1) upper quartile = 3/4(n+1) where n is the number of the values. Obviously the values have to be ordered from the lower to the higher: the number you'll get is the position in this order. Let's say you get 4 for your lower quartile, it means that the 4th value is your lower quartile.
It is the upper quartile minus the lower quartile.
A lower quartile for a set of four observations is not a meaningful concept.
