What are the quartiles of a distribution? How do we find them? Part (a) What are the quartiles of a distribution? A. When the data distribution is divided equally into four sets, each set of values is called a quartile. B. The quartiles are values that divide the data distribution into quarters. C. The quartiles consist of the lowest value, the median, and the highest value of the data distribution. D. The quartiles consist of the mean, the median, and the standard deviation of the data distribution. Part (b) How do we find them? A. The lower quartile is the mean of the data values in the lower half of a data set. The middle quartile is the overall mean. The upper quartile is the mean of the data values in the upper half of data set. B. The lower quartile is the median of the data values in the lower half of a data set. The middle quartile is the overall median. The upper quartile is the median of the data values in the upper half of data set. C. The lower quartile is the mean of the data values in the first quarter of a data set. The middle quartile is the overall mean. The upper quartile is the mean of the data values in the fourth quarter of data set. D. The lower quartile is the median of the data values in the first quarter of a data set. The middle quartile is the overall median. The upper quartile is the median of the data values in the fourth quarter of data set.

Given a set of data sorted from smallest to largest, define the first, second, and third quartiles. The first quartile is the minimum value. The second quartile is the median. The third quartile is the maximum value. The first quartile is the mean of the lower half of the data below the median. The second quartile is the median. The third quartile is the mean of the upper half of the data above the median. The first quartile is the median of the lower half of the data below the overall median. The second quartile is the overall median. The third quartile is the median of the upper half of the data above the overall median. The first quartile is the area within one standard deviation of the mean. The second quartile is the area within two standard deviations of the mean. The third quartile is the area within three standard deviations of the mean. The first quartile is the area that contains the 25% of all values that are closest to the mean. The second quartile is the area that contains the 50% of all values that are closest to the mean. The third quartile is the area that contains the 75% of all values that are closest to the mean.
