The quantile plays a very important role in statistics when it comes to normal distribution.

In the above picture, Q2
— it is median
normally distributed data. Q3 - Q2
represents the inter-quantum range of this dataset.
Parameters:
arr: [array_like] input array.
q: quantile value.
axis: [int or tuples of int] axis along which we want to calculate the quantile value. Otherwise, it will consider arr to be flattened (works on all the axis). axis = 0 means along the column and axis = 1 means working along the row.
out: [ndarray, optional] Different array in which we want to place the result. The array must have same dimensions as expected output.Results: q th quantile of the array (a scalar value if axis is none) or array with quantile values along specified axis, ignoring nan values.
