Calculation steps

  1. 1Sort: 1, 3, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 15 (n=9)
  2. 2Q2 position = (n−1)×0.5 = 4.00 → median = 7
  3. 3Q1 position = (n−1)×0.25 = 2.00 → Q1 = 3 (linear interpolation)
  4. 4Q3 position = (n−1)×0.75 = 6.00 → Q3 = 9
  5. 5IQR = 9 − 3 = 6; fences = [-6, 18]

Percentile interpretation

StatMeaning
Q1 25%25% of data below this
Median 50%Half below, half above; robust to outliers
Q3 75%75% of data below this
IQRMiddle 50% spread; robust dispersion measure

💡 IQR beats standard deviation for skewed data (incomes, house prices): one billionaire doesn't move the IQR at all. Quartile methods differ across tools — this uses linear interpolation (Excel PERCENTILE.INC / NumPy default); Tukey hinges may differ slightly.
