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.
Sections: Quartiles, boxes, and whiskers, Five-number summary, Interquartile ranges and outliers. The  interquartile range, abbreviated  IQR , is just the width of the box in the box-and-whisker plot.That is, IQR = Q 3 â Q 1. The IQR can be used as a measure of how spread-out the values are.Statistics assumes that your values are clustered around some central value.o find out if there are any outliers, I first have to find the IQR. There are fifteen data points, so the median will be at position (15 + 1) Ã· 2 = 8. Then Q 2 = 14.6. There are seven data points on either side of the median, so Q 1 is the fourth value in the list and Q 3 is the twelfth: Q 1 = 14.4 and Q 3 = 14.9.
