What is the difference between Q1 and Q3?
Q1 (25th percentile) and Q3 (75th percentile) represent the lower and upper quartiles of a dataset, respectively. Together, they help determine the interquartile range (IQR), which indicates the spread of the middle 50% of the data.
How can I find the median of a dataset?
The median is the middle value of a dataset when the data is ordered from least to greatest. If the dataset has an even number of observations, the median is the average of the two middle numbers.
