QUARTILE

A quartile is a type of quantile which divides the number of data points into four more or less
equal parts, or quarters. The first quartile (Q1) is defined as the middle number between the smallest
number and the median of the data set.

DECILE

In descriptive statistics, a decile is any of the nine values that divide the sorted data into ten
equal parts, so that each part represents 1/10 of the sample or population. A decile is one possible form
of a quantile; others include the quartile and percentile.

PERCENTILE

A percentile is a measure used in statistics indicating the value below which a given percentage
of observations in a group of observations falls. For example, the 20th percentile is the value below
which 20% of the observations may be found.

PERCENTILE RANK

The percentile rank of a score is the percentage of scores in its frequency distribution that are
equal to or lower than it. For example, a test score that is greater than 75% of the scores of people
taking the test is said to be at the 75th percentile, where 75 is the percentile rank.

CLASS INTERVAL

The size of each class into which a range of a variable is divided, as represented by the divisions
of a histogram or bar chart.

FREQUENCY

Frequency is the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit of time. It is also referred
to as temporal frequency, which emphasizes the contrast to spatial frequency and angular frequency.
The period is the duration of time of one cycle in a repeating event, so the period is the reciprocal of
the frequency.

Less than cumulative frequency

The total frequency of all classes less than the upper class boundary of a given class is called
the cumulative frequency of that class. ... Less than cumulative frequency distribution: It is
obtained by adding successively the frequencies of all the previous classes including the class against
which it is written.

GREATER THAN CUMULATIVE FREQUENCY

The Greater than Type cumulative frequency:The cumulative frequency of a particular

class and all the classes after that class is called the "greater than" type cumulative frequency.
The greater than cumulative frequencies are related to lower class boundaries and form a decreasing
sequence.

INTERPOLATION

In the mathematical field of numerical analysis, interpolation is a type of estimation, a method

of constructing new data points within the range of a discrete set of known data points.

MENDENHALL AND SINCISH METHOD

Mendenhall and Sincich, in their text _Statistics for Engineering and the Sciences_, define a
different method of finding quartile values. To apply their method on a data set with n elements, first
calculate: L = (1/4)(n+1) and round to the nearest integer. If L falls halfway between two integers,
round up.

MEAN

There are several kinds of means in various branches of mathematics. For a data set, the
arithmetic mean, also called the mathematical expectation or average, is the central value of a discrete
set of numbers: specifically, the sum of the values divided by the number of values.

MEDIAN

The median is the value separating the higher half from the lower half of a data sample. For a
data set, it may be thought of as the "middle" value. For example, in the data set [1, 3, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9], the
median is 6, the fourth largest, and also the fourth smallest, number in the sample.

MODE

The mode of a set of data values is the value that appears most often. If X is a discrete random
variable, the mode is the value x at which the probability mass function takes its maximum value. In
other words, it is the value that is most likely to be sampled.
