QUARTILES
• Quartiles in statistics are values that divide your data into quarters.
• To divide the observation into two equally-sized parts, the median can be used.
• A Quartile is a set of values that divides a dataset into four equal parts.
• The first quartile, second quartile, and third quartile are the three basic quartile
categories.
• The lower quartile is another name for the first quartile and is denoted by the
letter Q1.
• The median is another term for the second quartile and is denoted by the letter Q2.
• The third quartile is often referred to as the upper quartile and is denoted by the
letter Q3.
• Instead they divide your data into four segments according to where the numbers fall on
the number line. The four quarters that divide a data set into quartiles are:
• The procedure for computing quartiles, deciles and percentiles is the same as for the median.
• While computing these values for individual and discrete series we add 1 to N whereas in
continuous series we do not add 1.
