Computed statistics
One-variable
When the data set contains an odd number of values, the data
set’s median value is not used when calculating Q1 and Q3 in
the table above. For example, for the following data set:
{3,5,7,8,15,16,17}
only the first three items, 3, 5, and 7 are used to calculate Q1,
and only the last three terms, 15, 16, and 17 are used to
calculate Q3.
