How to Find the Lower Quartile?
Quartile means a quantile that divides a ranked data into four equal parts. The Quartile which divides a given data set into four equal parts is known as the First quartile- Q1, second quartile- Q2, and Third quartile- Q3 respectively. The first quartile is also known as the lower quartile.
- Q1 is the mid-value of the first half.
- Q2 is the Median
- Q3 is the mid-value of the second half or last half.
The first quartile (or lower quartile) is the median or mid-vale of the bottom half of the numbers. So, to find the first quartile, we need to place the numbers in value order and find the bottom half.
Note: 1) If the given data set has even numbers, Find the median from the bottom half
2) If the given data set has odd numbers, Find the median or average from the bottom half
Solved Examples on Lower Quartile Calculator
-
Example 1:
Find the lower quartile from the given data set { 8, 6, 9, 2, 4, 5 } and verify it using the online lower quartile calculator.
Solution:
Arrange this data set in increasing order i.e., {2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9}
So, the bottom half is { 2, 4, 5 }
The median of these numbers { 2, 4, 5 } is 4.
Therefore, the lower quartile of the data set is 4.

Example 2:
Find the lower quartile from the given data set { 8, 6, 9, 2, 5} and verify it using the online lower quartile calculator.
Solution:
Arrange this data set in increasing order i.e., {2, 5, 6, 8, 9}
So, the bottom half is { 2,5 }
The median of these numbers { 2, 5 } is 3.5
Therefore, the lower quartile of the data set is 3.5
