Quartile

A chart word, with the charts that use it.

Definition

Quartiles are the values that cut sorted data into four equal parts; the box in a box plot. The box spans the middle half, from the first quartile to the third.

Common mistakes

Reading the box as the full range

The box is the middle half. The whiskers and dots show the rest.

Box plots with few values

Quartiles of five values say little. Show the points instead.

Questions

What are Q1, Q2 and Q3?

The values a quarter, half and three quarters of the sorted data sit below.

Why show quartiles instead of the range?

They ignore the extremes, so the typical spread reads clearly.
