Example: 5, 7, 4, 4, 6, 2, 8
Put them in order: 2, 4, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

And the result is:

• Quartile 1 (Q1) = 4
• Quartile 2 (Q2), which is also the Median, = 5
• Quartile 3 (Q3) = 7

PERCENTILE
Calculate P75 for the following scores: 5, 7, 9, 11, 15, 17, 19, 20, 25,
and 30
Solution:
To find its P75 position, use the formula 75(n+1) and round off to the nearest integers.
100
Position of P75 = 75(n+1)

= 75(10+1)

= 8.25
= 8th item
Therefore, P75 = 20
