I think this is already explained well enough in the help page for
boxplot.stats.

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
