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.
1 The upper quartile (Q 3) is the median of the upper half of the data set. 2  The interquartile range (IQR) is the spread of the middle 50% of the data values.he interquartile range is a more useful measure of spread than range as it describes the middle 50% of the data values and thus, is less affected by outliers. 19 21 24 21 24 28 25 24 30. 19 21 21 24 24 24 25 28 30. 1  The median is the middle value of the data set.
