Step 1. Determine the Q1, Q2, and Q3 classes.

N 40
Q 1=( ranked value )= = =10
4 4
2 N 2( 40)
Q2=( ranked value )= = =20
4 4
3 N 3 (40)
Q3=( ranked value )= = =30
4 4
Step 2. Identify the quartile classes by identifying the 10th in the class (for Quartile 1), 20th in the class (for
Quartile 2), and 30th in the class (for Quartile 3).

114 – 117 1 40
Total 40

Step 3. Determine the values of LB, cf, f, i, and N.

Quartile Class LB cf f i N
First Quartile
98 – 0.5 = 97.5 3 8 4 40
(98 – 101)
Second Quartile
102 – 0.5 = 101.5 11 12 4 40
(102 – 105)
Third Quartile
106 – 0.5 = 105.5 23 10 4 40
(106 – 109)

Step 4. Compute the value of each quartiles.
