    Formula for calculating upper quartile =
    3 over 4 left parenthesis n plus 1 right parenthesis
H e r e comma space n space equals space 9 space left parenthesis t o t a l space n u m b e r space o f space d a t a right parenthesis
T h u s comma space 3 over 4 left parenthesis 9 plus 1 right parenthesis space equals space 3 over 4 cross times 10 space equals space 7.5
T h e space 7 t h space a n d space 8 t h space n u m b e r space i n space t h e space d a t a space s e t space a r e space 64 space a n d space 65
U p p e r space q u a r t i l e space equals space fraction numerator 64 plus 65 over denominator 2 end fraction equals space 64.5
