Class test-1:

Date:1-11-21
Syllabus: up to percentile
Extra class: 30.10.21 Saturday (11:30 am-1:00pm)
Quartiles, deciles and percentiles:
Quartiles:
Quartiles are those values which divided the total observations into
four parts of equal size.
Calculating quartiles for group data:
𝑵𝒊
− 𝒇𝒄
𝑸𝒊 = 𝑳𝒊 + 𝟒 . 𝒄; 𝒊 = 𝟏, 𝟐, 𝟑
𝒇𝒒
Where
𝑳𝒊 =lower limit of the i-th quartile class
N=total number of observations
𝒇𝒄 =cumulative frequency of the pre i-th quartile
𝒇𝒒 =frequency of the quartile class
C=class interval
Problem: Calculate 1st, 2nd and 3rd quartile form thee following
frequency distribution:
Marks No. of students
0-10 5
10-20 13
20-30 12
30-40 8
40-50 7

Deciles:
Deciles are those values which divided the total observations into 10
parts of equal size.
Calculating deciles for group data:
𝑵𝒊
− 𝒇𝒄
𝑫𝒊 = 𝑳𝒊 + 𝟏𝟎 . 𝒄; 𝒊 = 𝟏, 𝟐, 𝟑, … . . , 𝟗
𝒇𝒅
Where
𝑳𝒊 =lower limit of the i-th decile class
N=total number of observations
𝒇𝒄 =cumulative frequency of the pre i-th decile class
𝒇𝒅 =frequency of the quartile class
C=class interval
Problem: Calculate 5th and 9th decile form thee following frequency

percentiles:
percentiles are those values which divided the total observations into
100 parts of equal size.
Calculating percentiles for group data:
𝑵𝒊
− 𝒇𝒄
𝑷𝒊 = 𝑳𝒊 + 𝟏𝟎𝟎 . 𝒄; 𝒊 = 𝟏, 𝟐, 𝟑, … . . , 𝟗𝟗
𝒇𝒑
Where
𝑳𝒊 =lower limit of the i-th percentile class
N=total number of observations
𝒇𝒄 =cumulative frequency of the pre i-th percentile class
𝒇𝒑 =frequency of the quartile class
C=class interval
Problem: Calculate 22nd and 83rd percentile form thee following
frequency distribution:
Marks No. of students
0-10 5
10-20 13
20-30 12
30-40 8
