QUARTILES FOR GROUPED DATA
The formula for finding quartiles is:

= + [ 4
]

Where r = 1 for first quartile
= 2 for second quartile
= 3 for third quartile
= lower class boundary of the quartile class
= sum of the frequencies
cf = cumulative frequency of the quartile class
= frequency of the quartile class
c = class size
But first you must find the quartile class with the
formula :

4
Wherein:
r = 1 for the first quartile
= 2 for the second quartile
= 3 for the third quartile
= sum of the frequencies
FINDING THE FIRST QUARTILE
So now we will use the formula

1 =
4
(1)(52)
=
4
= 13
Now find the class in which 13 can fit in

91-96 7 90.5-96.5 93.5 52 654.5

Then use the formula for finding the first quartile

139
1 = 66.5 + [ ]6
7
4
= 66.5 + [ ]6
7
= 66.7 + 3.43
= 69.93
Same goes to the second quartile

2 =
4
(2)(52)
=
4
= 26
Now find the class in which 26 can fit in

Then use the formula for finding the second quartile

2616
2 = 72.5 + [ ]6
12
10
= 72.5 + [ ]6
12
= 72.5 + 5
= 77.5

Notice that your second quartile has the same value

of the median class
Lastly for the third quartile:

3 =
4
(3)(52)
=
4
= 39
Now find the class in which 39 can fit in
