The study is constructed by two estimators, four different sample sizes with odd and even number of observations and three different distributions. As a result of simulation study, sampling distributions of the related statistics are analogous to population distributions in small samples when they are similar to normal distribution in large samples. Also, the statistics of two quartiles estimators (Q1 or Q3) are found to have similar performance in large samples. We suggest that Freund & Perles method is used for the asymmetrical distributions and small samples. © 2015 Pakistan Journal of Statistics.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessFreund & Perles Quartile; Interquartile Range; Median; Minitab; QuartileArticle311120Q4
