Sometimes data needs to be described in terms of distributions, quartiles, quintiles, and IQR let you do just that.
Datasets are more than just a single number, and sometimes you want to describe variables based on a range of numbers, to better explain the distribution of values. Quartiles, Quintiles, and the Inter-quartile range (IQR) help you do just that. Learn how and when to use each of these measures in this course.


* Calculate quartiles, quintiles, and the IQR of a dataset

* Decide when quartiles, quintiles, and the IQR are the most appropriate

* Interpret these measures with respect to a dataset.
