Distance between the limits of a quartile in a statistical distribution.
Notation
We can note:
- EQ1 = |Q1 – xmin|
- EQ2 = |Q2 – Q1|
- EQ3 = |Q3 – Q2|
- EQ4 = |xmax – Q3|
where EQ1, for example, refers to the range of the first quartile, \(x_{min}\) refers to the lowest datum in the distribution and \(x_{max}\) refers to the highest datum in the distribution.
