MEASURES OF RELATIVE POSITION

FOR GROUP DATA

GROUP 4
QUARTILES
Quartiles organize data into three points—a lower quartile, median, and upper quartile—to form four dataset
groups

To find the quartile, use this formula:

LB=Lower Boundary of Qk class

N= Total Frequency
Cfb=cumulative frequency of the class
before the Qk class
FQk=frequency of Qk class
i= size of class interval
k= nth quartile, where
n= 1, 2, and 3
QUARTILES

Formula to calculate the Qk class:

Qk class= kN/4
Where:

N=total frequency

k=nth quartile, n= 1, 2, and 3

QUARTILE

Let’s Try: Calculate the Q1, Q2,Q3 of the tests scores of 50 students
QUARTILE

First, determine the lower boundaries:

QUARTILE

Next, find the cumulative frequency

QUARTILE

Now that we have those two, let us calculate using the formula:

Qk class= kN/4

Example, to get Q1 of the previously shown table, let us substitute N=50, and K=1
to the formula

Q1 class=50/4

Q1 class = 12.5

Now we need to find the class interval where 12.5 is situated

QUARTILE
Find the class interval where the Q1 class is located:

Q1’s class interval is 26-30

QUARTILE
SOLVE Q1 USING THE FORMULA:
PERCENTILE

The following formula is used to find the percentile of grouped data

PERCENTILE

How to calculate for the Pk Class:

Where:

Pk Class= kN/100
N= total frequency
k= nth quartile
PERCENTILE

Calculate the 65th percentile of the scored of 50 students

Percentile
Then solve for the cumulative frequency:
PERCENTILE

Calculate the P65 class

Given: N=50 , K=7

Formula: P65 class= kN/100

P65 class= (65)(50)/100

P65 Class= 32.5

Now, we need to find the class interval where 32.5 is located.

N= 50 CFb=27 FP65=11 LB=35.5 i=5

The class interval is 36-40

 Solve P65, using the following formula:

-Therefore, 65% of students get a score less than

38%.
DECILES

Deciles are values that divide the total frequency into 10 parts.

Formula:
DECILE
Formula to calculate the Dk class:

Dk Class= KN/10
Where:

N= total frequency

k= nth quartile, where n= 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9

Find the 7th decile of the scores of 50 students
First step, find the lower boundaries:
Next is to find the cumulative frequency:
 Next is calculate the D7 class

Now, we need to find the class interval where the 35th

score is contained.
N=50, CFb= 27, fD7=11, LB= 35.5, i=5
The class interval is 36-40.
Now, solve D7, using the following formula

Therefore, 70% of students got the score of 39.14.
