Q25 and Q75 represent the interquartile range (IQR). Q25 is the 25th percentile. Q75 is the middle value for the last half of the ranked-ordered data. Since the data is not normally distributed, it is usually better to report the medians and IQR, than it is to report the mean and standard deviation.
