Step 3: If i is not a whole number, round it up to the next whole number. (If i is a whole
number, see the next example.) Start at the lowest value and count over to the ith value. This is
the value that corresponds to the 25th percentile.
Step 3: If i is a whole number, use the value halfway between the i and the i + 1 value when
counting up from the lowest value.
quartile –
Note: To find Q1, simply calculate the 25th percentile of the data. To find Q3, simply calculate
the 75th percentile of the data. To find Q2, find the median of the data.
Step 3: Find the 25th percentile (Q1) and the 75th percentile (Q3) using the formula
𝑛∙𝑝
𝑖=
100
Decile –
Note: Deciles are denoted by D1, D2, D3, …, D9 and the correspond to P10, P20, P30, …, P90.
Deciles can be found using the formulas given for percentiles.
