  • @MissPacGirl then your median is a decimal. It doesnt matter.

  • The formula for the 25th (Q1) and 75th (Q3) percentiles are (n+2)/4 and (3n+2)/4, respectively. The only reason he uses (9+1)/2, for Q1, instead of (17+2)/4 (which follows the previous formulas) is because he decided to use the center point as his end point for Q1 and starting point for Q3. This gets complicated when you have an even number of data points and your center point is an average of two points, hence the more accepted above formula.

  • @JoAnn4729 and @MrOttomatic123

    He does the 17+1 because that's the general formula for finding Q(1-3). For the median (Q2) the formula is esentially (n+1)/2 where n is your number of data points. As he mentioned, if there were an even number of data points you would take the mean, or the average, of the two center points. This is a very simple example, which is why it seems silly that he didn't just cross numbers of each side until he reached the middle, or alternatively, multiplied n*0.50.

  • What happens when your median is a decimal?
