Quartiles
First quartile position:

Q1 = (n+1)/4

Second quartile position:

Q2 = (n+1)/2 (the median)

Third quartile position:

Q3 = 3(n+1)/4

Where n is the number of observed values (sample size).

Rule 1: If the result is an integer then the quartile is equal to the ranked value.
Rule 2: If the result is a fractional half, then the quartile is equal to the mean of the corresponding values.

Rule 3: If the result is neither an integer nor fractional half, round the result to the nearest integer and
select that ranked value.

Interquartile Range:

IQR = Q3 Q1
