Where:
QK = Quartile
LB = lower boundary of the QK class
N = total frequency
cfb = cumulative frequency of the class above the QK class
fQK = frequency of the QK class
k = nth quartile, k= 1,2, and 3 i = size of class interval
EXAMPLE:
1) Calculate the Q1, Median(Q2) and Q3 of test scores
of 50 students in Mathematics.

 STEPS:
1. Construct the Lower Boundaries in third column and the less than
cumulative frequency in the fourth column.
2. Determine the quartile class and calculate the quartile using the
formula.
3. Interpret the results.
