The median of a normal distribution with mean μ and variance σ 2 is μ. In fact, for a normal distribution, mean = median = mode. The median of a uniform distribution in the interval [a, b] is (a + b) / 2, which is also the mean. The median of a Cauchy distribution with location parameter x 0 and scale parameter y is x 0, the location parameter.
The IQR may also be called the midspread, middle 50%, fourth spread, or H‑spread. It is defined as the difference between the 75th and 25th percentiles of the data. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] To calculate the IQR, the data set is divided into quartiles , or four rank-ordered even parts via linear interpolation. [ 1 ]
The first quartile (Q 1) is defined as the 25th percentile where lowest 25% data is below this point. It is also known as the lower quartile. The second quartile (Q 2) is the median of a data set; thus 50% of the data lies below this point. The third quartile (Q 3) is the 75th percentile where lowest 75% data is below this point.

Splitting the observations either side of the median gives two groups of four observations. The median of the first group is the lower or first quartile, and is equal to (0 + 1)/2 = 0.5. The median of the second group is the upper or third quartile, and is equal to (27 + 61)/2 = 44. The smallest and largest observations are 0 and 63.

The median is 3 and the weighted median is the element corresponding to the weight 0.3, which is 4. The weights on each side of the pivot add up to 0.45 and 0.25, satisfying the general condition that each side be as even as possible. Any other weight would result in a greater difference between each side of the pivot.
