Understanding Quartiles
- Quartiles divide a dataset into four equal parts, identifying Q1, Q2 (median), and Q3.
- Calculating quartiles involves arranging data in ascending order.
- Example of Q1 calculation shows the first quartile as the third observation in a sorted dataset.
Percentiles in Measurement
- Percentiles are essential for assessing test scores, health indicators, and household income.
- Used for benchmarking and setting baselines for various measurements.
Key Formulas for Quartiles
- Q1, Q2, Q3 calculations use the total number of observations to determine positions within the data set.
