- 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.

Calculating quartile deviation for grouped and ungrouped data?
(q3-q1)/2
What is the purpose of quartile deviation?
In a data sample, the purpose of quartile deviation is a way to measure data dispersion instead of using the range. The quartile deviation is found by subtracting the lower quartile from the upper quartile, and dividing this result by two.
The first quartile of a data set is 32 and the third quartile is 52. Which of these values in the data set is an outlier?

Can interquartile range be used for any data eg data below the lower quartile to find if the data is spread out or close together or must we use the lower quartile for data below the lower quartile?
No, interquartile range cannot be for any data. The lower quartile for data must be used below the lower quartile.
How do you find the Quartile of a number?
A number does not have a quartile, a set of data does. The lower quartile of a set of data set is a value, in the data set, such that a quarter of the date set are smaller and three quarters are larger. The upper quartile is defined similarly. The middle quartile, better known as the median, divides the data set in two.

The upper quartile of the data set?
the upper quartile is the median of the upper half of a set of data. ;p

What is quartile Excel function?
There is no function to create a quartile in Excel. A quartile is a 25% division of a statistical collection of data. You can use Excel to create a chart to let you observe the quartiles of the data.
What is a quartile in a math problem?
A quartile is a given section in a range of data. To find the quartile, you must first find the median. Then find the "median of the median", using these to separate your data into sections, giving you a total of four sections of data.
What information is viewed on a box and whisker plot?
It is an overview of the distribution of a data set. The values that are plotted are:the minimum,the lower quartile (a quarter of the data points are smaller),the median (half the data points are smaller),the upper quartile (a quarter of the data points are larger),the maximum.
What is a lower quartile?
A lower quartile i s the mediaon of the lower half of a data set. A data set is divided up into different quartiles.
