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.
