method 2

the values found method known tukey s hinges ; see midhinge. rule applied excel before office 2010 , quartil.inc function after office 2010


method 3

this gives arithmetic mean of methods 1 , 2; ensures median value given correct weight, , quartile values change smoothly possible additional data points added.


example 1

ordered data set: 6, 7, 15, 36, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 47, 49
