Quartiles – Calculating different quartiles

by Satyam on March 19, 2010

A quartile is a specific percentile. First, second, third quartiles are 25th, 50th and 75th   percentiles respectively. As discussed in the percentile calculations post  the position of the pth percentile item, i = (p/100) * n  where n is the total numbers in the data sample.
 
Calculate these quartiles as described in the post.  If a fund falls under top quartile (percentile greater than 75) is considered for investment.
