Quartiles
Quartiles
- The lower quartile, median and upper quartile are the values 25%, 50% and 75% through the dataset.
- They are written as Q1, Q2, Q3.


Interquartile range
Interquartile range
- The interquartile range is Q3 - Q1, the difference between the upper and lower quartile.
- It is a measure of spread, like the range, and is less affected by outliers.


Outliers
Outliers
- Outliers are data values that don’t fit in the same pattern as the rest of the data.
