[R] quantile() and boxplot.stats()

[Vladimir N. Kutinsky]

Hello,

I faced something I can't understand. When I use boxplot.stats(1:10) and
quantiles(1:10) the results are different for 25% and 75%:

> boxplot.stats(1:10)
$stats
[1]  1.0  3.0  5.5  8.0 10.0

> quantile(1:10)
   0%   25%   50%   75%  100%
 1.00  3.25  5.50  7.75 10.00

Actually, I expected the value 3 for 25% and 8 for 75% as results of
quantile(1:10). Can you please explain me why it isn't so.

Regards,
Vlad
