Question

Calculate Inter-Quartile Range and Coefficient of Quartile Deviation from the following data:

Size:	0-5	5-10	10-15	15-20	20-25	25-30
Frequency:	3	9	15	23	30	20

Answer

Size	f	c.f.
0-5	3	3
5-10	9	12
10-15	15	27
15-20	23	50
20-25	30	80
25-30	20	100
	$\Sigma\text{f}=100$

$\text{Q}_1=\Big(\frac{\text{N}}{4}\Big)^{\text{th}}\text{item}=\Big(\frac{100}{4}\Big)^{\text{th}}\text{item}$
$= 25^{th}$ item. which lies in the class 10-15.
$\text{Q}_1=\text{l}_1+\frac{\big(\frac{\text{N}}{4}\big)-\text{c.f.}}{\text{f}}\times\text{i}$
$\text{Q}_1=10+\frac{25-12}{15}\times5$
$\text{Q}_1=10+\frac{13}{15}\times5$
$=10+\frac{13}{5}=10+4.3=14.3$
$\text{Q}_3=3\Big(\frac{\text{N}}{4}\Big)^{\text{th}}=3\times25$
$= 75^{th}$ item. which lies in the class 20-25.
$\text{Q}_3=\text{l}_1+\frac{3\big(\frac{\text{N}}{4}\big)-\text{c.f.}}{\text{f}}\times\text{i}$
$\text{Q}_3=20+\frac{75-50}{30}\times5$
$\text{Q}_3=20+\frac{25}{30}\times5$
$=20+4.15=24.15$
$\therefore$ Inter-Quartile Range $=\text{Q}_3-\text{Q}_1=24.15-14.3=9.8$
coefficient of Q.D. $=\frac{\text{Q}_3-\text{Q}_1}{\text{Q}_3+\text{Q}_1}$
$=\frac{24.15-14.3}{24.15+14.3}=\frac{9.8}{38.4}=0.25$
