Directions: Given the scores of 30 students on their 20-item quiz in Mathematics, calculate the

value of the following measures of position by completing the frequency distribution below:

A.Q3
Class Interval Frequency Lower Boundaries (LB) Less than Cumulative
frequency (<cf)
Q3 class 18-20 7 17.5 30
15-17 5 fQk 14.5 LB 23 Q3 class
12-14 9 11.5 18 cfb
9-11 6 8.5 9
6-8 3 5.5 3

Locate Q3 class.
3 N 90
Q3 class: = = 22.5th score

Substitute all the given data in the formula.

5

Q3 = 14.5 +
( 22.5−18
5 )3
Q3 = 17.2

Therefore, 75% of the students got a score less than or equal to 17.2

B.D6
Class Interval Frequency Lower Boundaries (LB) Less than Cumulative
frequency (<cf)
18-20 7 17.5 30

D6 = 14.5

The 6th decile is equivalent to 80th percentile, therefore 80% of the students got a score less

than or equal to 14.5.

D3 = 11.5

The 3rd decile is equivalent to 80th percentile, therefore 80% of the students got a score less

than or equal to 11.5.

P20 = 10

Therefore, 20% of the students got a score less than or equal to 10.

P85 = 18.6

Therefore, 85% of the students got a score less than or equal to 18.6.
