Quantile[data, q] gives the location before which percent of the data lie. In other words, Quantile gives a value such that the probability that is less than or equal to and the probability that is greater than or equal to . The quantile values at = 0.25, 0.5 and 0.75 are called the quartiles, and you can obtain them using Quartiles.
