In [[w:descriptive statistics|descriptive statistics]], the '''[[w:quartile|quartile]]s ''' of a [[w:Levels of measurement#Ordinal scale|ranked]] set of data values are the three points that divide the data set into four equal groups, each group comprising a quarter of the data. A quartile is a type of [[w:quantile|quantile]].
