Measures of Position for Ungrouped Data

Background Information for Learners

Measures of position give us a way to see where a certain data point or value falls in a sample or
distribution. A measure can tell us whether a value is about the average, or it’s unusually high or low.
Measures of position are used for quantitative data that falls on some numerical scale. Sometimes,
measures can be applied to ordinal variables – those variables that have an order, like first, second, or
fiftieth.

This part of the module enables you to understand quantiles in a set of ungrouped data.
The understanding that you will gain in the following activities will help you understand
measures of position.

Closure

There are three measures of position:


• Quartiles – are three score points that divide a distribution into four equal parts
• Deciles – are the nine score points which divide a distribution into ten equal parts
• Percentiles – are the ninety-nine score points which divide a distribution into one
hundred equal parts

To find the desired measure of position, we consider the following steps:


• arrange the data in ascending order,
• calculate the position using ➢ Qk = 𝑘
(𝑛 + 1) for quartiles
4
➢ Dk = 𝑘 (𝑛 + 1) for deciles
10

➢ Pk = k (n + 1) for percentiles

Measures of Position for Grouped Data

Background Information for Learners

A calculation is a deliberate process that transforms one or more inputs into one or more
results. To calculate means to determine mathematically in the case of a number or amount, or in a
case of an abstract problem to deduce the answer using logic, reason or common sense.

In this lesson you will learn more about the measures of position for grouped data and the
process on calculating their values.

The learner calculates a specified measure of position (e.g. 90th percentile) of a set of data. (M10P-IVb-1)

We are done with the measures of position for ungrouped data. To introduce you how to calculate the
measures of position for grouped data, we need to identify first the lower boundary of the frequency
distribution table. See next page for the given example.

Example 1. The table below shows the scores of 20 students in a 30-item quiz in Mathematics.

Table 1. Scores of 20 students in Mathematics

20.5, 26 – 0.5 = 25.5

ACTIVITY 1: Boundaries

Directions: Complete the table below. Find the lower boundary of the data in Table 2.

In order to compute the unknown measures of position, we also need the less than cumulative
frequency. Let’s use the previous example by adding another column.

1 Protocols at all times


Practice Personal Hygiene
1
To fill the column for the less than cumulative frequency (<cf):
• copy the first frequency, that is the frequency of the class interval of 6-10 which is 1.
• add the result to next frequency, 1 + 2 = 3,
• add the sum (3) to the next frequency, 3+5=8,
• Just repeat the process up to the last frequency to get the less than cumulative frequency of
every class interval. 8+8=16, and 16+4=20.

Try activity 2, to test the extent of your understanding on how to compute for the <cf.

ACTIVITY 2: Apple of The Eye

Question: How many apples is left for Ms. Quorona?


Directions: Find the less than cumulative frequency of the distribution. Then, fill in the blanks with the
cumulative frequency/value that corresponds to the enclosed letter.

Less than

Ms. Quorona has (e)_____ apples. She gave (c)____ apples to her siblings and (a)_____ apple to
her father Quaranto. Her friend, Jessie Q received (d)____ apples from his uncle Sonnytoz and gave
(b)____ apples to Ms. Quorona because he admires her very much.

Since we know already how to compute the lower boundary and less than cumulative frequency, you
are now ready to calculate quartiles, deciles, percentiles and percentile rank. Let us focus first on
quartiles. Consider the second example below. Refer to table 3.

Example 2. The table below shows the scores in a 50-item quiz of 60 students in Mathematics.

LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET


IS THAT YOUR INTERPRETATION?

Background Information for Learners

This learning activity sheet is a self-learning and self-paced instrument that helps the students
acquire the concepts even without the physical presence of the teacher. It assists the learners to easily
understand and eventually master how to interpret the computed measures of position.

Finding the lower boundary of class intervals, obtaining the less than cumulative frequency,
and solving the desired measures of position are still included in this activity sheet since the
competency needs these three concepts.

Learning Competency:

The learner interprets measures of position. (M10SP-IVc-1)

Directions

The following are concepts on how to interpret measures of position coupled with illustrative
examples and sets of activities. You need to answer each of the given activities to assess how well you
were able to acquire the intended competency. Your score in each activity will be recorded.

How do I interpret this


measure of position that I
obtained?

How will I interpret the values that I have obtained in the
previous activity? I don’t know what to do with them.

We simply base it from the measure of position that we


want to consider.

Please do elaborate what you are saying by giving me


an example.

Let’s say, you computed 𝑄1 of the scores of students


and the value that you obtained is 14.5. This means
that 25% of the students got scores less than or equal
to 14.5 while 75% of the students got scores greater
than or equal to 14.5.

My grade in Math is 82 and it belongs to 𝐷4 , what


does this imply?

Now I know your grade in Math. It means that 40%


of our classmates got lower than or equal to 82 and
60% of them got higher than or equal to 82.

It’s your time to give your interpretation.


My age is 17 and it belongs to 𝑃83 . What does it
mean?

It means that 83% of the students are younger or


have the same age as you and 17 % of them are older
or have the same age as you.

What are the two important things that we need to


consider when asked to interpret measures of position?

First is the measure of position and second is the


computed value. Bear in mind that the measures of
position will always be expressed in percent

You may also use the diagram below as your basis


when interpreting measures of position.

Since you don’t have questions about the topic, let’s


us then accomplish the activity below.

LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET
Problems on Measures of Position

Background Information for Learners

One way to locate numerical data in a distribution that is useful in many applications of
statistics is through the use of fractiles or quantiles, commonly referred to as percentiles, deciles and
quartiles. The following descriptions are often heard or read:

“She graduated in the top 10% of her class.”


“He ranks among the top 2% of the grade 7 entrants.”

Sometimes, it is more interesting and more useful to know where an item of a set of ranked
data is located than the value itself. Percentiles, deciles or quartiles are used to locate an item in a
distribution.

Let us remember that:


• Percentiles are values that divide a set of observations into 100 equal parts. These values
are denoted by P1, P2, …, P99 such that 1% of the data falls below
P1, 2% falls below P2, …, and 99% falls below P99.
• Deciles are values that divide a set of observations into 10 equal parts. These values are
denoted by D1, D2, …, D9 such that 10% of the data falls below D1,
20% falls below D2, …, and 90% falls below D9.
• Quartiles are values that divide a set of observations into 4 equal parts. These values are
denoted by Q1, Q2, and Q3 such that 25% of the data falls below Q1,
50% falls below Q2, and 75% falls below Q3.

Learning Competency with Code:

The learner solves problems involving measures of position. (M10SP-IVd-e-1), (Q4/Wk 4-5)

Directions

Have a nice day, learner! On this activity sheet, you will find examples of problems that involve
measures of position. The tasks that follow are designed for you. Wear a smile as you solve these. If
you encounter difficulty in doing any of the activities, feel free to approach your teacher who is just a
message/text away. You may start now! Have a bright day!

Activity 1: It’s a Matter of Choice!

Below are situations showing the application of percentile. Study how the problems are solved,
through Mendenhall and Sincich Method or Linear Interpolation Method, then answer the problems
that follow.

Example 1.

Example 2.

The test scores of twenty (20) grade 10 learners in a Probability quiz are the following: 26, 22, 15, 24,
21, 28, 19, 18, 24, 29, 14, 18, 25, 27, 24, 25, 16, 23, 21, 20. The teacher decided to pass every
learner who gets a percentile rank of 70 or higher. What is the lowest score in the test results that
gets a passing mark?

Step 1: arrange the data in


increasing order Step 2: determine the
GIVEN
14, 15, 16, 18, 18, 19, 20, 21, values of k and n k =

The problem can also be solved by Linear Interpolation Method.

Step 1: arrange the data in 14, 15, 16, 18, 18, 19, 20, 21, 21, 22, 23, 24, 24,
increasing order 24, 25, 26, 26, 27, 28, 29
Step 2: determine the values of k and k = 70 n
n = 20
Step 3: find P70 position Position of P70 = 70 (20+1)
= 14.7
100
Step 4: interpolate (since the result 14th element: 24
in step 3 is decimal) 15th element: 25
a) get the difference between the 25 – 24 = 1
14th and the 15th elements
b) multiply the difference by the 1(0.7) = 0.7
decimal part obtained in step 3
0.7 + 24 = 24.7
c) add the result in (b) to the smaller
 P70 = 24.7
number (14th element)

Answer: Since nobody got 24.7, then the lowest score that gets a passing mark is 25.

Exercises: It’s your turn now, dear learner. Use the applicable method, Mendenhall and Sincich Method,
or Linear Interpolation Method to solve the problems. Enjoy the task!

In a class of forty (40) grade 10 students, Juan ranks fourth (4th). What is his percentile rank?

Solution:
• Since Juan ranks 4th, then 36 students rank below him. [40 – 4 = 36] o 36
= 0.9
40
• Therefore, Juan is at the 90th percentile, P90.

Exercises: Do the following…

LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET MEASURES OF POSITION

Background Information for Learners

What do you do when you are lost? Can you use tools like compass and GPS to figure out where you
are and how to get where you are going? In statistics, there are ways to figure out where a data point
or set falls called measures of position. Once you know where a data set is, you can figure out what
to do with it.

Measures of position are statistical techniques that divide a set of data into equal groups.
These are used for quantitative data that falls on some numerical scale. Sometimes, measures can be
applied to ordinal variables – those variables that have an order like first, second, …, fiftieth.

In this learning activity sheet, you will learn how to analyze, interpret and solve problems
involving measures of position such as Quartiles, Deciles and Percentiles. More importantly, you will
deal with real life problems on measures of position and learn how to interpret the results.

Learning Competency with code

The learner uses appropriate measures of position and other statistical methods in analyzing
and interpreting research data (M10SP-IVh-j-1).

Directions

The following are series of activities that will guide you in using appropriate measures of
position and other statistical methods in analyzing and interpreting research data. Perform each
activity and you will be rated through the given rubrics. You may search on the internet if you
encounter unfamiliar terminologies and concepts for better understanding. You may also contact your
teacher if necessary.

Activity 1: Hidden Mathematics

In the word hunt puzzle, look for mathematical terms


related to measures of position being described by the given
definitions. Write the term on the space provided corresponds

Q1 class = 1(25)4  (substitute the given values in the given equation)

This means we need to find the class interval where the 6.25score is
contained using the set of cumulative frequencies. Thus, th
6.25th score can be found on the class interval (26 – 30) with
cumulative frequency of 8 where Q1 can also be found.

Q1 class = 6.25 

b. Solve for Q1 using the formula: Where: LB = lower boundary of Q1 class


N = total frequency

a. Solve for D5 class by using the formula:

D5 class = 5N 10

D5 class = 5(25)10  (substitute the given values in the given equation)

This means we need to find the class interval where the 12.5 th score
is contained using the set of cumulative frequencies. Thus, 12.5 th
score can be found on the class interval (36 – 40) with cumulative
frequency of 20 where D5 can also be found.

D 5 class = 12.5 

b. Solve for D5 using the formula: Where: LB = lower boundary of D5 class


N = total frequency
5N – cfb cfb = cumulative frequency of the
D5 = LB + . 10 . i class below the D5 class
FD5 FD5 = frequency of the D5 class i =

a. Solve for P85 class by using the formula:

P85 class = 85N


100

P 85 class = 85(25)100  (substitute the given values in the given equation)

This means we need to find the class interval where the 21.25 th score
is contained using the set of cumulative frequencies. Thus, 21.25 th
score can be found on the class interval (41 – 45) with cumulative
frequency of 24 where P85 can also be found.

P 85 class = 21.25 

b. Solve for P85 using the formula: Where: LB = lower boundary of P85 class
N = total frequency
85N – cfb cfb = cumulative frequency of the
P85 = LB + . 100 . i class below the P85 class
FP85 FP85 = frequency of the P85 class i =
size of the class interval
N = 25
Cfb = 20  (Identify the given)
FP85 = 4
i =5

LB = 40.5  (Subtract 0.5 from the lower number in the class interval which is 41. Thus,
LB = 41 – 0.5 = 40.5)
