The Q1 and Q3 values for this calculation method are described below.
Q1 = {value of element whose cumulative frequency ratio is greater than 1/4 and nearest to
1/4}
Q3 = {value of element whose cumulative frequency ratio is greater than 3/4 and nearest to
3/4}
The following shows an actual example of the above.

5 1 8 8/10 = 0.8
6 1 9 9/10 = 0.9
7 1 10 10/10 = 1.0
• 3 is the value of whose cumulative frequency ratio is greater than 1/4 and nearest to 1/4, so
Q1 = 3.
• 5 is the value of whose cumulative frequency ratio is greater than 3/4 and nearest to 3/4, so
Q3 = 5.
