The owner of the supermarket recorded the
number of costumers who came into his
store each hour in a day. The results were,
11, 7, 9, 6,14, 2, 5, 6,11,7 and 8. Find the
lower quartile, middle quartile and upper
quartile from the data.
 The quartiles are the score points which
divide a distribution into four equal parts.

The quartiles are the score points which divide a distribution into four
equal parts.
The Three Quartiles
Lower Quartile : the lower quartile is the median of the lower half of a
data set.
The Middle Quartile : the middle divides a data set into two equal
parts.
The Upper Quartile : the upper quartile is the median of the upper half
of a data set.
Twenty-five percent (25%) of the distribution
are below the first quartile, fifty percent (50%)
are below the second quartile, and seventy-
five percent (75%) are below the third
quartile. Q1 is called the lower quartile and
Q3 is the upper quartile.

The difference between Q3 and Q1 is
the interquartile range.

IQR = Q3 – Q1
Quartiles are the values that divide a
list of numbers into quarters.

The IQR tells how spread out the middle

values are; it can also be used to tell when
some of the other values are “too far” from
the central value.
