Definition: Interquartile range is the measure of dispersion which is the difference in the values of two quartiles. The Lower Quartile is denoted as Q 1 and the Upper Quartile is denoted as Q 3. The interquartile range is Q 3 - Q 1. Semi Interquartile range is the midpoint of the interquartile range. In other words, it is one-half of the difference between the third quartile and the first quartile. Therefore, Semi-Interquartile range = $\frac{Q_{3}-Q_{1}}{2}$. Where Q 1 and Q 3 are the upper and lower quartiles respectively.
The median is the value that is in the middle of the distribution, with 50% of the scores having a value larger than the. median, and 50% of the scores having a value smaller than the median. It is important to keep in mind the difference between this. definition of middle and that used when describing the mean. The interquartile range (IQR) is the range of values within which reside the middle 50% of the scores.
