Percentiles: Percentile, Decile, and Quartile

This document defines and provides examples to calculate percentiles, deciles, and quartiles from a data set. It shows how to determine the class containing specific percentiles, deciles, and quartiles and then calculates their values using the class midpoints and frequencies. For example, it calculates that the 25th percentile (P25) is 17, the median (P50) and 2nd decile (D5) are both 27, and the 1st quartile (Q1) is 17.
