 To compute for the position of the Quartiles, Deciles, and Percentiles

that is in decimal form, use the linear interpolation. Interpolate to
obtain the value of a specific Q, D, and P.

1. Separate the decimal form into position and decimal point then add the two(2).
2. Subtract the two (2) position elements.
3. Add the data under the position to the decimal point.
4. Multiply the result of number 1 to number 2.
