MEASURES OF POSITION FOR
UNGROUPED DATA
Illustrates the following
measures of position:
quartiles, deciles and
percentiles.
M10SP - IVa - 1
Quarter 4 Week 1
Objective!
At the end of the lesson the students
should be able to:
Deciles
Percentiles
Quartiles of Ungrouped Data
The quartiles are the score points
which divide a distribution into four
equal parts.

Consider the set of scores in a quiz in
Mathematics 10.
10, 11, 11, 13, 16, 17, 17, 19, 20, 20
Procedure:
1. Arrange the scores in ascending order.
2. Identify the middle value and label it 𝑸𝟐 .
3. Identify the middle value between the
smallest value and the 𝑸𝟐 , label it 𝑸𝟏 .
4. Identify the middle value between the
largest value and the 𝑸𝟐 , label it 𝑸𝟑 .
5. For the Interquartile range, get the
positive difference of 𝑸𝟑 and 𝑸𝟏 .
Scores:10, 11, 11, 13, 16, 17, 17, 19, 20, 20
Lower Quartile 𝑸𝟏 = 11
Upper Quartile 𝑸𝟑 = 19
Interquartile range 19 – 11 = 8
Q2 = 16.5 means that the scores are centered
at 16.5 and half of the data lie within the
interquartile range of 8.
Deciles of Ungrouped Data
The deciles are the nine score values
that divide a distribution into ten equal
parts.

Percentiles of Ungrouped Data
The percentiles are the score points
which divide a distribution into one
hundred equal parts.

Linear Interpolation
Example 1: Given the scores of 9 students in their Mathematics
activity, find Q1, D3 and P55 using Linear Interpolation.
Scores: 2 28 17 8 32 8 31 4 22
Solution for P55 :
Step 1: 2 4 8 8 17 22 28 31 32
Step 3: 22 – 17 = 5

P55 = 𝟏𝟎𝟎 (10) Step 5: 2.5+17 = 19.5
P55 = 5.5 Therefore, P55 = 19.5
