Computed statistics
One-variable
When the data set contains an odd number of values, the 
data set’s median value is not used when calculating Q1 
and Q3 in the table above. For example, for the following 
data set:
{3,5,7,8,15,16,17}
only the first three items, 3, 5, and 7 are used to calculate 
Q1, and only the last three terms, 15, 16, and 17 are 
used to calculate Q3.
