Example 1.
The owner of My TEA shop recorded the number of customers who came into his shop each hour in a
day. The results were 16, 6, 12, 10, 8, 7, 15, 17, 9, 15, and 10. Find the lower quartile (𝑄1) and upper
quartile(𝑄3) of the data.
Solution:
Arrange the data in ascending order 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10, 12, 15, 15, 16, 17.
The least value in the data is 6 and the greatest value in the data is 17.
The middle value in the data is 10
The lower quartile is the value that is between the middle value and the least value in the data
set.
So, the lower quartile is 8.
The upper quartile is the value that is between the middle value and the greatest value in the
data set.
So, the upper quartile is 15.
Since the second quartile is equal to the median, the steps in the computation of median by identifying
the median class is the same as the steps in identifying the 𝑄1 class and the 𝑄3 class.
Example 2.
Averina, a shoe store owner, wanted to compare the different brands of shoes. The table below
shows her record of the number of pairs of shoes bought from each of the brands in one week.
Find 𝑄1, 𝑄2, 𝑄3.
Identify the median of the lower half of the number of pairs of shoes. This is Q1
Identify the median of the upper half of the number of pairs of shoes. This is 𝑄3.
Exercise 1.
Eleven students recorded the number of laps of swimming they were able to do in a twenty-five-meter
pool. Below is the number of laps they did. 6, 8, 5, 4, 3, 2, 2, 6, 1, 9, 7 1.
Arrange the values in ascending order.
Identify the median. This is 𝑄2.
Identify the lower half of the values.
Identify the median of the lower half of the values. This is 𝑄1. 𝑄1
Identify the upper half of the values. 6. Identify the median of the upper half of the values.
This is 𝑄3.
Generalization
1. How do we define quartiles?
2. How do we find the median?
3. Quartiles are divided into how many parts?
