Definition--Measures of Central Tendency--Upper Quartile | Upper QuartileTopicStatistics DefinitionThe upper quartile (Q3) is the median of the upper half of a data set, representing the 75th percentile. DescriptionThe upper quartile is a measure of position that indicates the value below which 75% of the data falls. It is used in conjunction with other quartiles to understand the distribution and spread of data. In real-world applications, the upper quartile is used in finance to assess investment performance and in education to evaluate student achievement levels. |

Definition--Measures of Central Tendency--Quartile | QuartileTopicStatistics DefinitionQuartiles divide a ranked data set into four equal parts. DescriptionQuartiles are used to summarize data by dividing it into four parts, each representing a quarter of the data set. They provide insight into the spread and center of data, helping to identify the distribution and variability. Quartiles are used in box plots to visually represent data distribution, making them valuable in fields such as finance and research for analyzing data trends. |
