Q1 = (7+1)/2 th item =100
Q3 = 3(7+1)/2 th item =190
Qd = 190-100 = 90
Q1 = (7+1)/2 th item =100
Q3 = 3(7+1)/2 th item =190
Qd = 190-100 = 90

Quartile deviation of daily wages (in Rs.) of 7 persons is 45.
Quartile deviation
- It computes the deviation in the middle or near the average of a given dataset.
- It is calculated as :
Q.D. = (Q3-Q1)/2
where,
- Q3 is the third quartile i.e. median of third half of the data set
- Q1 is the first quartile i.e. median of first half of the dataset
- Q3-Q1 is interquartile range
- Q2 is the median
In order to find Q3 and Q1 we have to first find Q2
Arrange the given data in ascending order
70,100, 120,150,170,190,250
Median = (n+1)/2 = (7+1)/2=4th term=150
Q1= (n +1)/4 = 8/4 = 2nd term = 100
Q3=3(n+1)/4 = 24/4=6th term=190
Q.D= (190-100)/2 =90/2=45
