for discrete distributions, there no universal agreement on selecting quartile values.
method 1
this rule employed ti-83 calculator boxplot , 1-var stats functions. rule applied quartil.exc function in excel after office 2010
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
example 2
ordered data set: 7, 15, 36, 39, 40, 41
as there number of data points, 3 methods give same results.
