B.  PRIMING
Let’s have a review of the previous lesson.
 What is quartiles?
 How do we solve the quartiles for ungrouped data?
 How about quartiles for grouped data?

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 raw data.
Answer: Summation of x
1. Lower boundary
2. Cumulative frequency
3. Grouped data
4. Summation of frequency
5. Divided by 10
D. ACTIVITY
This class will be divided into four groups. There is a hidden picture of
animals under you chair and you are going to create the sound it makes then go
to your respective groups. Assign group leader, secretary and reporter.
Assemble the puzzle containing the problem to get the task 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 when they are done. First group to finish
the task will get a prize.
GROUP 1: Ask each member: “Approximately how many hours in the month of
December, January and February do you spend in browsing the internet?” After
asking each member, grouped all the raw data your group have gathered. Tally
all the data obtained using frequency distribution table. (Each member will give 3
data pertaining to the month of December, January and February).

GROUP 2: Ask each member. “How long do you watched television last Friday,
Saturday and Sunday?” Express your answer in approximated hours.After asking
each member, grouped all the raw data your group have gathered.Tally all the
data you get using frequency distribution table.(Each member will give 3 data
pertaining to the days of Friday, Saturday and Sunday).

GROUP 3: Ask each member:“How long does it take for you to get into school
from your house every day from Monday to Friday?” Express your answer in
 approximated minutes.After asking each member, grouped all the raw data your
group have gathered. Tally all the data you get using frequency distribution table.
(Each member will give 5 data pertaining to the days of Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday).

GROUP 4: Ask each member:“What is your grade in mathematics this school

year taken from first, second and third grading period?” After asking each
member, grouped all the raw data your group have gathered. Tally all the data
you get using frequency distribution table. (Each member will give 3 data
pertaining to their grade from first, second and third grading period).

E. ANALYSIS
1.How did you find the activity? Did you have fun? Is it difficult?
2. How did you group the data you gathered?
3. Given just an instruction on the card only, why is it important to follow an
instruction 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 7thdecile of the mathematics test scores of 50 students.

SCORES FREQUENC LOWER CUMULATIVE
Y 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 the 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
BOUNDARIES
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

SCORES FREQUENC LOWER CUMULATIVE

Y BOUNDARIES FREQUENCY
STEP 46-50 4 45.5 50 3:Solve for
the 41-45 8 40.5 46 cumulative
frequency.
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
7
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

VI. APPLICATION
Group activity
Using the gathered data on the first activity, complete the frequency distribution
table by following the step by step process that we did.Group leader of each group will
going pick a card containing what deciles they are going to solve.
