Activity 3

Suppose the following grouped distribution represents text anxiety measures. The upper 15% of the
individuals from the highly anxious group, the next 25% form the moderately anxious group, the
next 40% form the somewhat anxious group and the bottom 20% form the non- anxious group.
Find the measures of position associated with each classification.

The measure of positions:

P15=L+15n/100-cf/f⋅c

=35.5+7.5-6/9⋅9

=35.5+1.5/9⋅9

=35.5+1.5

Upper 15% measure of position = 37

P25=L+25n/100-cf/f⋅c

=35.5+12.5-6/9⋅9

=35.5+6.5/9⋅9

=35.5+6.5

25% moderately anxious group measure of position = 42

P40=L+40n/100-cf/f⋅c

=44.5+20-15/15⋅9

=44.5+5/15⋅9

=44.5+3

40% somewhat anxious group m e a s u r e o f p o s i t i o n = 47.5

P20=L+20n/100-cf/f⋅c

=35.5+10-6/9⋅9

=35.5+4/9⋅9

=35.5+4

20% non- anxious group measure of position = 39.5
