GROUPED
DATA
At the end of the lesson…
1. Illustrate the different measures of positions
for grouped data.
2. Calculate the different measures of position such
as quartile, decile and percentile of the grouped
data.
3. Interprets the measures of Position of the set of
data.
MEASURES OF POSITIONS
Measure of position is a technique that
divides a set of data into equal groups.
Common Measures of Position
Quartile Decile Percentile
Measure of position Measure of position Measure of position
that divides the data that divides the data that divides the data
into four equal parts. into ten equal parts into ten equal parts
Qk = (n+1) Dk = (n+1) Pk = (n+1)
Grouped data
- cfb
Qk = lbQk i
+ fQk
Where:
LbQk - is the lower boundary
of the Qk class
N - total frequency
cfb – cumulative frequency of
the class before the Qk
class
fQK – frequency of Qk class
i - size of class interval
Quartile
k – nthclass(Q
quartilek class) is the
class with the smallest
cumulative frequency greater
than or equal to kN/4.
