The Quartile for Ungrouped Data
 Ungrouped data – is the data you first gather from an experiment or study.
- The data is raw – that is, it’s not sorted into categories, classified,
or otherwise grouped.
- It is a set of data that is basically a list of numbers.
 Quartile is the score points which divide a distribution into four equal parts. 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.

 A group of data belongs to Q1 is called lower half.

 A group of data belongs to Q3 is called upper half.
 Q1 ¿ Q2 <¿ Q3 , where Q 2 is the median.
lower half upper half

Q1 Q2 Q3
a. 25% of the data has a value ≤ Q1
b. 50% of the data has a value ≤ Q2.
c. 75% of the date has a value ≤ Q3.

where n is the number of terms

Note: For large data sets
in getting the
median, divide the
number of items by 2,
then subtract 1 to find
the number that should be above and the number that should be below.
For example, 100/2 = 50. 50 – 1 = 49.
Instruction for the Activity:
Select your leader. The leader will arrange his/her members according to their age (including
