B.  PRIMING
This class will be divided into four groups. There are hidden pieces of
puzzleunder you chairs. At the back of the pieces of puzzle, there is a picture of
animal and you are going to create the sound it makes then go to your respective
group. Assign group leader, secretary and reporter.
Assemble the puzzle containing the task that your group need to do.
When your group are done with the task, create a group yell. Each group will
going to sing their own yell. The first group to finish the task and get a correct
answer will receive a prize. You will be given 10 minutes to work with your
group.
GROUP 1:
 Ask each member: “Approximately how many hours in the month of
December, January and February do you spend in browsing the internet?”
 Tally all the data obtained on the frequency distribution table provided.
(Each member will give 3 data pertaining to the month of December,
January and February).
 Complete the FDT by putting the frequency, lower boundary and
cumulative frequency.
 Solve for Quartile 1.

C. MOTIVATION
Our game for today is entitled “guess my watermelon”. All you have to do
is to describe what’s on the card you are going to pick. There is only one rule,
you cannot use the object’s name or the word written on the card in your
description instead you have to replace it by saying watermelon.
Example: To get “watermelon”, you have to add all the value of raw data.
Answer: Summation of x
1.Position
2. Denominator
3. Divided by 10

From the formula above and using the data from the first activity, what will
happen if you change the denominator 4 into 10? What would be the new value
obtained given the value of k for each group.

Group 1. If k=1, what is the new value obtained?

Group 2. If k=3, what is the new value obtained?
Group 3. If k=5, what is the new value obtained?
Group 4. If k=7, what is the new value obtained?
 E. ANALYSIS
1. What have you noticed about the two formula? How about the way you solved
using the formula which you’ve changed the denominator?
2. What does the denominator 4 and 10 implies?
3. How did you group the data you gathered?
4. Given just the instructions on the card, why is it important to follow instructions
or a step by step process?

V. ABSTRACTION

The deciles are those values that divide the total frequency into ten equal parts.
When the number of items in a set of data is too big, items are grouped for
convenience. Decile for grouped data is computed almost the same ways as quartile for
grouped data are computed. The K th decile denoted by Dk is computed as follows:

KN
Dk = LB D +k
10
[ ]
+Cf b
fDk
i

where : LB D is the lower boundary of the Dk class

k

N is the total frequency

Cf bis the cumulative frequency before the median class
f D is the frequency of the Dk class
k

iis the interval or the class width

k is the nth decile where n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

Here are the steps in finding the decile for grouped data:

EXAMPLE: Calculate the 7th decile of the mathematics test scores of 50 students.
SCORES FREQUENCY LOWER CUMULATIVE
BOUNDARIES FREQUENCY
46-50 4 45.5 50
41-45 8 40.5 46
36-40 11 35.5 38
31-35 9 30.5 27
26-30 12 25.5 18
21-25 6 20.5 6
STEP 1:Find the summation of all frequency (N)
∑ f or N = 4 + 8 + 11 + 9 + 12 + 6
N = 50

STEP 2.Complete the frequency distribution table by solving the lower boundary of
each class.
SCORES FREQUENCY LOWER

46-50 4 45.5
41-45 8 40.5
36-40 11 35.5
31-35 9 30.5
26-30 12 25.5
21-25 6 20.5
STEP 3:Solve for the cumulative frequency.
SCORES FREQUENCY LOWER CUMULATIVE
BOUNDARIES FREQUENCY
46-50 4 45.5 50
41-45 8 40.5 46
36-40 11 35.5 38
31-35 9 30.5 27
26-30 12 25.5 18
21-25 6 20.5 6
STEP 4: Identify the
Dk class.
Since we are looking for D7, k=7 and N=50.
KN 7(50) 350
D7 = 10 = 10 = 10 = 35

The class interval 36-40 contains the cumulative frequency that is greater than or
equal to the computed value, which is 35, would be the D7 class.

STEP 5: Identify the LB D ,Cf b ¿ f D .

k k

36-40 11 35.5 38
31-35 9 30.5 27
LB D =35.5

Cf b=¿ 27 f D =11
k

STEP 6: Find the class width or the interval.

Class 36-40i = 5

STEP 7: Substitute all the obtained value from each step in the formula.
35−27 8
D7 = 35.5+
[11 ]
5 = 35.5 +
11 [ ]
5 = 35.5 + ¿27¿ 5 = 35.5 + 3.64
D7 = 39.14

STEP 8. Interpret the value obtained.

The 7th decile, which is 39.14, is below the median.
 For first decile to fourth decile, interpretation is below median.
 For fifth decile, it is equal to the median.
 For sixth decile to tenth decile, it is above the median.

VI. APPLICATION
BOARD WORK
Each group will choose a representative to solve on the board. The fastest
representative to solve the given problem and get the correct answer will receive a prize
as well as the representative’s groupmates.
Using the gathered data from our example, solve for the specified decile by
following the step by step process.Representative of each group will going to pick a
card containing what deciles they are going to solve.
