Quartiles are used to calculate the interquartile range, which is a measure of variability around the median. The interquartile range is simply calculated as the difference between the first and third quartile: Q3–Q1. In effect, it is the range of the middle half of the data that shows how spread out the data is.
How do you do quartiles?
- Quartile 1 (Q1) = (4+4)/2 = 4.
- Quartile 2 (Q2) = (10+11)/2 = 10.5.
- Quartile 3 (Q3) = (14+16)/2 = 15.
Why do we use quartiles?
