Measuring Position: Quartiles, Percentiles, Standardized Scores

To find the quartiles, sort the data from lowest to highest.
The methods to find the percentiles are actually approximate percentiles.
Standardized scores, also known as z-scores, are used to compare observations from two or more distributions.
