Statistics - Quartile Deviation

它取决于下四分位数 ${Q_1}$ 和上四分位数 ${Q_3}$。差值 ${Q_3 - Q_1}$ 称为四分位距。差值 ${Q_3 - Q_1}$ 除以 2 称为半四分位距或四分位离差。

Formula

Coefficient of Quartile Deviation

基于四分位离差的分散度相对测量称为四分位离差系数。其特征如下:

Example

Problem Statement:

从下面给出的数据计算四分位离差和四分位离差系数:

Maximum Load (short-tons)

Number of Cables

9.3-9.7

22

9.8-10.2

55

10.3-10.7

12

10.8-11.2

17

11.3-11.7

14

11.8-12.2

66

12.3-12.7

33

12.8-13.2

11

Solution:

Maximum Load (short-tons)

Number of Cables (f)

Class Bounderies

Cumulative Frequencies

9.3-9.7

2

9.25-9.75

2

9.8-10.2

5

9.75-10.25

2 + 5 = 7

10.3-10.7

12

10.25-10.75

7 + 12 = 19

10.8-11.2

17

10.75-11.25

19 + 17 = 36

11.3-11.7

14

11.25-11.75

36 + 14 = 50

11.8-12.2

6

11.75-12.25

50 + 6 = 56

12.3-12.7

3

12.25-12.75

56 + 3 = 59

12.8-13.2

1

12.75-13.25

59 + 1 = 60

${Q_1}$

Value of ${\frac{n}{4}^{th}}$ item =Value of ${\frac{60}{4}^{th}}$ thing = ${15^{th}}$ item. Thus ${Q_1}$ lies in class 10.25-10.75.

${Q_3}$

Value of ${\frac{3n}{4}^{th}}$ item =Value of ${\frac{3 \times 60}{4}^{th}}$ thing = ${45^{th}}$ item. Thus ${Q_3}$ lies in class 11.25-11.75.
