EXERCISE NO. 3 : Measures of Position and Variation

1. From the Raw Scores of 150 applicants for Interview in the Computer Technology (as
shown below), compute
27 79 69 40 51 88 55 48 36 61 59 60 56 62 85
53 44 94 51 65 42 58 55 69 63 62 48 71 58 77
70 48 61 55 60 25 47 78 61 54 33 80 76 49 54
57 76 73 62 36 67 40 51 59 68 55 39 52 59 68
27 46 62 43 54 83 59 13 72 57 89 51 69 85 55
82 45 54 52 71 53 82 69 60 35 57 69 27 44 61
41 65 62 75 60 42 55 34 49 45 61 57 53 26 68
49 64 40 61 73 44 59 46 71 86 70 58 52 45 41
43 69 54 31 56 51 75 44 66 53 80 71 45 44 73
43 39 53 56 91 60 41 29 56 57 35 54 51 46 67

a) using ungrouped data, find : b) using grouped data, find

1. The mode = 51, 54, 55, 61, 69 1. The mode = 50.9
2. The median = 56 2. The median = 56.2
3. The mean = 8,150/150 = 56.7 3. The mean = 56.8
4. The 1st and 3rd Quartile = 46 & 68 4. The Standard Deviation = 15.2
5. The Interquartile Range 5. The Coefficient of Variation = 26.8
Q3-Q1 = 68-46 = 22
6. The 15th and 90th Percentile = 6. The Quartile Deviation = Q1 = 45.3,
Q3 = 65 , QD = Q3-Q1 = 65-45.3 =
P 15 = 42 & P 90 = 76
QD = 19.7

2. In the study of Taperla (2009), the Students and Professors were made to validate the
Acceptability of the Multi-Circuit Magnetic Motor Control Trainer using the 5 – point Likert
Scale. Provide data on the table that follows:
