Quartile of Grouped Data

This document provides information about calculating quartiles of grouped data. It defines quartiles as dividing a dataset into four equal groups, with Q1 being the first quartile (25th percentile), Q2/the median being the second quartile, and Q3 being the third quartile (75th percentile). The document includes objectives, a pre-test with questions to practice finding quartiles, definitions of quartiles of grouped data, a video lesson, the formulas for calculating Q1 and Q3 of grouped data, an example problem, importance of quartiles, and real-life applications of quartiles.

WHAT IS QUARTILES OF
GROUPED DATA?
A quartile divides data into three points (a lower quartile,
median, and upper quartile) to form four groups of the
dataset. The second quartile, Q2, is also the median. The
upper or third quartile, denoted as Q3, is the central point
that lies between the median and the highest number of the
distribution.

FORMULA.
FORMULA.
On our module 2 of this quarter, we have learned how to
determine the median of a grouped data. Since Q2 is also called
the median of the data, to solve for the Q1 and Q3 of a grouped
data, we do the same way as computing the median. We need to
determine first the Q1 and Q3 class before computing for the
value of Q1 and Q3. The Q1 class is the class interval where the
(N/4)th score is contained. The Q3 class is the class interval
where the (3N/4)th score is contained. The difference between Q3
and Q1 is called interquartile range. To compute for Q1 and Q3
for grouped data, we have the following formulas:

FORMULA.
To compute for Q1 and Q3 for grouped data, we have the following
formulas:
where: X_LB = lower boundary of the Q1 class
N =total frequency
cf_b = cumulative frequency before the Q1
f_q1 = frequency of the Q1
i = size of the class interval

where: X_LB = lower boundary of the Q3 class


N =total frequency
cf_b = cumulative frequency before the Q3
f_q3 = frequency of the Q3
i = size of the class interval

IMPORTANCE
Why are quartiles so important? Well, for starters, if you’re dealing
with a lot of data, sorting out those numbers one by one may take too
much time. Quartiles allow one to divide a set of data into convenient
four groups, which makes it easy to sort what needs to be organized. In
fact, quartiles are all around us. Quartiles often are used in sales and
survey data to divide populations into groups, to measure your
performance or standing on a particular exam, etc.
For example, a particular competition has a scoreboard of 0-100 points.
The referee wishes to give trophies to the top 25% of participants, give
participation certificates to the bottom 25% of participants, and medals
to the middle 50% of participants. If the referee knows the quartiles
are, then it makes it easier to see where the dividing lines are, and
the awarding ceremony won’t be delayed by lengthy one-by-one
organization of numbers.

REAL LIFE
REAL LIFE
APPLICATIONS:
APPLICATIONS:
Some examples of the use of range in the real world are: temperature
ranges for the day as reported on a weather report, min/max levels of
water in a reservoir. However, in the presence of outliers, the range
values can be significantly influenced by them. Hence, we prefer to use
the IQR instead as we “ignore” the bottom 25% of the data points and the
top 25% of the data points. IQR statistic is more robust with respect to
outliers. In the presence of outliers, IQR is a better representation of
the amount of spread in the data rather than the range. Some companies
use the quartiles to benchmark other companies. For example, the median
company pay for a given position is set at the first quartile of the top
20 companies in that region. The quartiles and IQR information is
typically used when you create a box-plot of your data set.
