The [[Cumulative distribution function|CDF]] gives the probability that the random variable <math>X</math> is less than or equal to the value <math>x</math>. Therefore, the first quartile is the value of <math>x</math> when <math>F_X(x) = 0.25</math>, the second quartile is <math>x</math> when <math>F_X(x) = 0.5</math>, and the third quartile is <math>x</math> when <math>F_X(x) = 0.75</math>.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://math.bme.hu/~nandori/Virtual_lab/stat/dist/CDF.pdf|title=6. Distribution and Quantile Functions|website=math.bme.hu}}</ref> The values of <math>x</math> can be found with the [[quantile function]] <math>Q(p)</math> where <math>p = 0.25</math> for the first quartile, <math>p = 0.5</math> for the second quartile, and <math>p = 0.75</math> for the third quartile. The quantile function is the inverse of the cumulative distribution function if the cumulative distribution function is [[Monotonic function|monotonically increasing]] |
