percentiles for grouped data;
• Calculate a specified measures of position (quartile,
decile, percentile) of grouped data; and
• Solve problems involving measures of position of
grouped data.

Too Many Numbers!: A Speed Challenge
The class will be divided into groups. A representative of each group will
come in front. Each group will be assigned with a certain interval in the
given table. All representative will have a race to complete each intervals
inthe frequency distribution table with the help of their group mates. The
first group to complete the table wins and will have +5 points. While the
others will have lesser points in each place.

RECALL:
How many equal
parts do quartiles
divides?
STEPS:
1) Determine the Q1, Q2, and Q3 classes.
� �ℎ
Q1 = the CI where ( ) contain
4
2� �ℎ
Q2 = the CI where ( ) contain
4
3� �ℎ
Q3 = the CI where ( ) contain
4
2) Locate the interval where the Qk belong.
3) Compute Qk using the formula.
FORMULA:
Where:
�� is the lower boundary of the Qk class
��
is the percentage of the total frequency
4
< ��� is the less than cumulative frequency
�� of the class before the Qk class
− < ���
�� = �� + 4 � ��� is the frequency of the Qk class
���
� is the size of the class interval
�� is the nth quartile, where n = 1, 2, or 3.
Example:
Consider our frequency distribution on the number of Facebook reactions of cover
photos of different students, calculate Q1, Q2, Q3.

To find Q1, 12 – 18 6 11.5 6
STEP 1: Determine the Q1 classes.

�1 = = 7.5

This means that Q1 is at the 7.5th position. Thus, we need to find the class interval where
the 7.5th is contained using the less than cumulative frequency (< ��) column.
The 7.5th data is conained between the 7th and the 12th dayata.
Therefore, Q1 belongs to the class

This means that Q2 is at the 15th position. Thus, we need to find the class interval where
the 15th is contained using the less than cumulative frequency (< ��) column.
The 15th data is contained between the 13th and the 21st data.
Therefore, Q2 belongs to the class

This means that Q3 is at the 22.5th position. Thus, we need to find the class interval where
the 22.5th is contained using the less than cumulative frequency (< ��) column.
The 22.5th data is contained between the 22nd and the 26th data.
Therefore, Q1 belongs to the class

When working with small datasets, we can
compute quartiles directly using position
formulas and interpolation (if there’s a
decimal). However, as the dataset grows larger,
arranging and calculating each value becomes
impractical.

previous week. Find the Q1.
