- Re-arrange the data in increasing order.
- If there are n data points, calculate (n+1)/4.
- Find the data point in position (n+1)/4, using interpolation if required. This is the LOWER QUARTILE.
- Find the data point in position 3*(n+1)/4, using interpolation if required. This is the UPPER QUARTILE.
In n is large (>30, say), don't bother to add 1: just work with the observations in the n/4th and 3n/4th positions.
