Quartile: Q = k (n+1)
k 4
where:
k = 1 to 3
n = no. of data
where:
k = 1 to 9
n = no. of data
where:
k = 1 to 99
n = no. of data
Note: Don’t forget to find the value in the position that you found when computing using the
formula.
4 parts of FDT.
- Class Interval
refers to the numerical width of any class in a particular distribution.
- Frequency
a particular data is the number of times the data value occurs.
- Lower Boundary
is the lower endpoint that determines the class interval.
- Cumulative Frequency
is the total of a frequency and all frequencies in a frequency distribution until a
certain defined class interval.
