Question

Do you agree or disagree with the following statements? Give Reasons.

There is no difference between quartile, decile and percentile.

Answer 1

Disagree

No, we completely disagree with the statement. This is because the three concepts are very different from each other. Quartiles are the values of a given set of data that divide the whole data or observations into 4 equal parts. Deciles divide the given set of data into 10 equal groups. Percentiles are the values that divide the whole set of data into 100 equal parts. The numbers of quartiles, deciles and percentiles are 3, 9 and 99, respectively.
