Q1 and Q3 Grouped Data

This document provides equations and examples for calculating the first and third quartiles (Q1 and Q3) for grouped data. It shows that Q1 is calculated using the position of the median of the lower half of data and Q3 uses the position of the median of the upper half. The document includes an example of calculating Q1 and Q3 for a set of travel time data grouped into classes. It provides the full worked solution and shows that Q1=13.7143 and Q3=34.3889 for the given data. Finally, it includes two exercises asking the reader to find Q1, Q3 and draw box plots for given grouped revenue and price data.
