 Lesson 2.1
Calculating a Specified Measures of Position in
Quartiles of a Set of data

What’s In
Median is the middle value in the list of numbers arranged in
ascending/descending order. It divides the distribution into two equal parts. One-half
of the distribution lies below it and one-half above it.
Here are the scores of 15 students in a quiz, 8, 12, 10, 15, 16, 20 ,19, 11, 13,
18, 17, 16, 14, 10, 20, what is the median?

What’s New
Directions: Arrange the following in ascending order.
1.
2.
3. 15, 12, 18, 20, 14, 16
4. 10, 8,5, 6, 7, 4
5. 2.09, 2.90, 2.10, 2.01

What Is It
Measures of position is a method to see where a certain data point or value
falls in a distribution. It tells us whether the value is low, average or high. It can also
show how to values the different distributions or measurement scales compare.
Sometimes it can be applied to ordinal like first, second… and so on.
Ungrouped data is also known as raw data. It is data that has not been placed in any
group or category after collection. While grouped data is a data which is classified into
various groups and a table created after collection.

 THE QUARTILE FOR UNGROUPED DATA

The quartiles are the score point which divides the distribution into four equal
parts. If the scores in a data set are arranged from the lowest to the highest, then the
value below which the lowest 25% or one-fourth of all the scores lies is called first
quartile(Q1). The score below which the next 25% is called second quartile(Q2).
Second quartile is the median of the score distribution. The score below which the
third 25% of all scores is the third quartile.

3
 1st Quartile(𝐐𝟏 ) 2nd Quartile(𝐐𝟐 ) 3rd Quartile(𝐐𝟑 )
Lower Quartile Middle Quartile Upper Quartile
25% 50% 75%
Median
To find the quartile values is to find the median of the data set, then find the
median of the upper and the lower halves of the data set.
For example: {3, 6, 7, 10, 12, 15, 17, 19, 25}
The number of data values is 9 which is odd number. The median is 12 in the 5 th data
value.
{3, 6, 7, 10, 12, 15, 17, 19, 25}
For the lower halves, since the number of elements is even(4), get the average
of the middle two values.
{3, 6, 7, 10}
6+7 13
Thus, = = 6.5 the median of the lower halves
2 2

For the upper halves, since the number of elements is also even(4), get the
average of the middle two values.
{15, 17, 19, 25}
17 + 19 36
Thus, = = 18 the median of the upper halves
2 2

{𝟑, 𝟔, 𝟕, 𝟏𝟎, 𝟏𝟐, 𝟏𝟓, 𝟏𝟕, 𝟏𝟗, 𝟐𝟓}

𝑸𝟏 = 𝟔. 𝟓 𝑸𝟐 = 𝟏𝟐 𝑸𝟑 = 𝟏𝟖
Therefore First Quartile is 6.5,
Second Quartile is 12
Third Quartile is 18.
Other Methods of solving Quartile for Ungrouped data:
1. Mendenhall and Sincich Method.
A method used by statistics for engineering and sciences in finding the quartile
value. To find the quartile value using this method with n elements,
1
a. 𝐿𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟 𝑄𝑢𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑖𝑙𝑒(𝐿) = 𝑃𝑜𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑜𝑓 𝑄1 = 4 (𝑛 + 1) and round to the nearest integer.
If L falls halfway between two integers, round up.

4
 3
b. 𝑈𝑝𝑝𝑒𝑟 𝑄𝑢𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑖𝑙𝑒(𝑈) = 𝑃𝑜𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑜𝑓 𝑄2 = 4 (𝑛 + 1) and round to the nearest integer. If
U falls halfway between two integers, round down.
Example:
Group of students got the following scores in a quiz. 5, 6, 7, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, 15. Find
the lower Quartile and Upper Quartile value.
a. To find for 𝑄1:
1
Position of 𝑄1 = 4 (𝑛 + 1)
1
𝑄1 = 4 (9 + 1) The computed value is 2.5 rounding up
1
𝑄1 = 4 (10) becomes 3. The lower quartile is the 3rd
10
𝑄1 = elements in the data set so 𝑄1 = 7
4

𝑄1 = 2.5

b. To find for 𝑄3 :
3
Position of 𝑄3 = 4 (𝑛 + 1)
3
𝑄3 = 4 (9 + 1) The computed value is 7.5 rounding
3
𝑄3 = 4 (10) down becomes 7. The upper quartile is
30
𝑄3 = the 7th element in the data set so 𝑄3 = 11.
4

𝑄3 = 7.5
2. Linear Interpolation:
Example:
Group of students got the following scores in a quiz. 5, 6, 7, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13,
15. Find the Lower Quartile and Upper Quartile value.

 Interpolate the value to obtain the 𝑄1.
a. Subtract the 7th value from the 8𝑡ℎ value
13 − 11 = 2
b. Multiply the result by the decimal part obtained in second step.
2(. 5) = 1
c. Add the result in step 2 to the smaller number

Lesson 2.2
Calculating a Specified Measures of Position in
Decile of a Set of Data
What’s In
In the previous lesson , you learned that quartiles is one of the measures of
position in which the data is divided into four equal parts. For ungrouped data quartile
formula is
𝑘𝑁
𝑘 −𝑐𝑓𝑏
4
𝑄𝑘 = 4 (𝑛 + 1) while for the grouped data is 𝑄𝑘 = 𝐿𝐵 + ( ) 𝑖.
𝑓𝑄𝐾

What Is It
 The Deciles for Ungrouped Data
The deciles are the nine score points which divide a distribution into 10
equal parts. Deciles are denoted as 𝐷1 , 𝐷2 , 𝐷3 , …, 𝐷9 and are computed in the
same way that the quartiles are calculated.

𝑫𝟏 𝑫𝟐 𝑫𝟑 𝑫𝟒 𝑫𝟓 𝑫𝟔 𝑫𝟕 𝑫𝟖 𝑫𝟗

𝑸𝟏 𝑸𝟐 𝑸𝟑

11
 Example:
1. Find the 3rd decile or 𝐷3 of the following test scores of a random sample of ten
students:
35, 42, 40, 28, 15, 23, 33, 20, 18, 28
Solution:
a. First arrange the scores in ascending order.
15, 18, 20, 23, 28, 28, 33, 35, 40, 42

b. Used the formula 𝐷𝑛 = (𝑛 + 1) and round off to the nearest integer.
10
3
𝐷3 = 10 (𝑛 + 1)
3
𝐷3 = 10 (10 + 1)
3
𝐷3 = 10 (11)
33
𝐷3 = 10

𝐷3 = 3.3 ≈ 3
𝑫𝟑 is the 3rd element.
Therefore, 𝑫𝟑 = 𝟐𝟎
 THE DECILES FOR GROUPED DATA
Deciles are those values that divides the total frequency into 10 equal parts.
The Dk is computed as follows:
𝑘𝑁
− 𝑐𝑓𝑏
100
𝐷𝑘 = 𝐿𝐵 + ( )𝑖
𝑓𝐷𝐾

where:
𝐿𝐵 = lower boundary of the 𝐷𝑘 class
𝑁 = total frequency
𝑐𝑓𝑏 = cumulative frequency of the class before the 𝐷𝑘
𝑓𝑃𝑘 = frequency of the 𝐷𝑘 class
𝑖 = size of class interval
𝑘 = nth decile, where 𝑛 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 9
Example:
Using the table below, Calculate the 6th decile of 20 Student’s
Summative Test Scores.
Score Frequency Lower Less than

Solution:
a. Determine the decile class.
𝐾𝑁 6(20) 120
𝐷6 class: = = = 12
10 10 10

b. Identify the given.

𝐿𝐵 = 34.5 𝑓𝐷𝑘 = 5
𝑁 = 20 𝑖=5
𝑐𝑓𝑏 = 9
c. Substitute the given in the formula, then solve.
𝑘𝑁

𝐷6 = 34.5 + ( )5
5
3
𝐷6 = 34.5 + (5) 5
𝐷6 = 34.5 + 3
𝐷6 = 37.5
Therefore, The 6th decile is equivalent to the 60th percentile. Therefore,
60% of the students got a score less than or equal to 37.5.

Lesson 2.3
Calculating a Specified Measures of Position in
Percentile of a Set of Data

What’s In
In the previous lesson, you learned about quartile and deciles. To assess your
learning, answer each item in your answer sheets.
1. What measures of position divides the distribution into:
a. 4
b. 10
c. 100
2. How many percent in a data corresponds to
a. 𝑄1
b. 𝑄3
c. 𝐷5
d. 𝑃25
e. 𝑃75

What Is It

 THE PERCENTILES FOR UNGROUPED DATA

The percentiles are the ninety-nine score points which divides a distribution into
one hundred equal parts, each part represents a data set. It is used to
characterized values according to the percentage below them.

14
 The first percentile (𝑃1 ) separates the lowest 1% from the other 99%, the
second percentile (𝑃2 ) separates the lowest 2% from the other 98%, and so on.

𝑷𝟏𝟎 𝑷𝟐𝟎 𝑷𝟑𝟎 𝑷𝟒𝟎 𝑷𝟓𝟎 𝑷𝟔𝟎 𝑷𝟕𝟎 𝑷𝟖𝟎 𝑷𝟗𝟎

𝑫𝟏 𝑫𝟐 𝑫𝟑 𝑫𝟒 𝑫𝟓 𝑫𝟔 𝑫𝟕 𝑫𝟖 𝑫𝟗

𝑸𝟏 𝑸𝟐 𝑸𝟑
𝑷𝟐𝟓 𝑷𝟓𝟎 𝑷𝟕𝟓
The percentile determines the value for 1%, 2%,…99% of the data. 𝑃20 or 20th
percentile of the data means 20% of the data have the values less than or equal to
𝑃20
Example:
Group of students got the following scores in a quiz. 5, 6, 7, 7, 8, 10, 11,
13, 15. Find the 30th percentile or 𝑃30.
a. To find for 𝑃30:
30
Position of 𝑃30 = 100 (𝑛 + 1)
30
𝑃30 = 100 (9 + 1)
30
𝑃30 = 100 (10) 𝑷𝟑𝟎 is in the third element.
300
𝑃30 = 100 Therefore 𝑷𝟑𝟎 = 𝟕

𝑃30 = 30

 THE PERCENTILE FOR GROUPED DATA

The following formula is used in computing the percentiles for grouped data.
𝑘𝑁
− 𝑐𝑓𝑏
𝑃𝑘 = 𝐿𝐵 + ( 100 )𝑖
𝑓𝑃𝐾

where:
𝐿𝐵 = lower boundary of the 𝑃𝑘 class
𝑁 = total frequency
𝑐𝑓𝑏 = cumulative frequency of the class before the 𝑃𝑘
𝑓𝑃𝑘 = frequency of the 𝑃𝑘 class

15
 𝑖 = size of class interval
𝑘 = nth percentile, where 𝑛 = 1, 2 3, … ,98, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 99
Example:
Calculate for 𝑃20 , 𝑃50 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑃80 of 30 students in their summative test scores in
Mathematics.
