The document discusses different types of quantiles including quartiles, deciles, and percentiles. It provides the definitions and formulas for computing the first quartile Q1, second quartile Q2, and third quartile Q3 from a data set. An example of computing the quartiles from a sample data set is also shown.

Quantiles - each of any set of values of a variate which divide a frequency distribution into equal

groups, each containing the same fraction of the total population.

1. Quartile - In statistics, a quartile is a type of quantile which divides the number of data
points into four parts, or quarters, of more-or-less equal size. The data must be ordered
from smallest to largest to compute quartiles; as such, quartiles are a form of order
statistic.
2. Decile - A decile is a quantitative method of splitting up a set of ranked data into 10 equally large
subsections. A decile rank arranges the data in order from lowest to highest and is done on a
scale of one to 10 where each successive number corresponds to an increase of 10 percentage
points.
3. Percentile is a term used in statistics to express how a score compares to other scores in the
same set. While there is technically no standard definition of percentile, it's typically
communicated as the percentage of values that fall below a particular value in a set of data
scores.

To find the quartiles

The computation of the quartiles is the same as the computation of the median.

1. To find the first quartile, Q1

1
N −¿ cfb 1
Q1 = L + ( 4 i , q1N = N
¿ 4
f1

Where: L = lower class boundary

<cfb = less than cumulative frequency before the Q1 class

f1 = frequency of the first quartile

2. To find the 2nd quartile


1
the same formula with the first quartile, ( N ¿

3. To find the third quartile

 The same formula with first quartile, ( N ¿ , q3N = (3/4)50

P60 =
