In an ordered set of data:

  • The lower quartile, Q1 = 1/4(n+1)th term within the series;
  • The median, Q2 = 1/2(n+1)th term within the series;
  • The upper quartile, Q3 = 3/4(n+1)th term within the series;
  • The interquartile, IQ = Q3 - Q1
  • The semi-interquartile, SIQ = 1/2 * IQ

Is that right?
