1. Calculate Quartile deviation, Coefficient of Q.D., Interquartile range from the following grouped data
Solution:Quartile deviation :`x` | Frequency `f` | `cf` |
0 | 1 | 1 |
1 | 5 | 6 |
2 | 10 | 16 |
3 | 6 | 22 |
4 | 3 | 25 |
--- | --- | --- |
| `n = 25` | -- |
Here, `n = 25`
`Q_1 = ((n+1)/4)^(th)` value of the observation
`=(26/4)^(th)` value of the observation
`=(6.5)^(th)` value of the observation
`=2`
`Q_3 = ((3(n+1))/4)^(th)` value of the observation
`=((3*26)/4)^(th)` value of the observation
`=(19.5)^(th)` value of the observation
`=3`
InterQuartile range `=Q_3 - Q_1=3-2=1`
Quartile deviation `=(Q_3 - Q_1)/2=(3-2)/2=1/2=0.5` (Semi-InterQuartile range)
Coefficient of Quartile deviation `=(Q_3 - Q_1)/(Q_3 + Q_1)=(3-2)/(3+2)=1/5=0.2`
