The learner demonstrates understanding of key
concepts of measures of position.
The learner is able to conduct systematically a mini-
research applying the different statistical methods.
The learner calculates a specified measure of
position (e.g.,90th percentile) of a set of data.

Given:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
➢ Will you identify the Q1? Q2? Q3?
Activity: Position Me!
Group students into 3. Let each group
answer the given problem. (See attached
Activity Sheet) then, a representative from
the group will report the answer.
1. Is there any other method for finding the data
values in the data set?
Consider Problem 3.
The lower quartile of a data set is the 8th data
value. How many data values are there in the
data set?

How do we find the quartile of a given data in a
different method?
Mendenhall and Sincich Method is another way for
finding quartile values. To apply their method on a
data set with n elements, follow the procedure:
1. Calculate Lower Quartile (L) = Position of Q1
= (𝑛 + 1) and round to the nearest integer. If
L falls halfway between two integers round
up. The Lth element is the lower quartile
value(Q1).
2. Calculate Upper Quartile (𝑈) = Position of
Q3=¾ (n+1). If U falls halfway between two
integers, round down. The Uth element is the
upper quartile value(Q3)
Example data set: {1, 3, 7, 7, 16, 21, 27, 30,31} and
n=9. Position of Q1=¼ (n+1) =¼ (9+1) = (10) = 2.5
round up to 3 The lower quartile value (Q) is the 3rd
data element, so Q1=7 becomes 7 after rounding
down. The Q is the 7 data element, so Q3=27
Similarly Position of Q3=7 (computed value).
How many values are there below the lower
quartile? Upper quartile?
Remember: Position of Qk = k/4 (n+1)
Another method is by using the Linear Interpolation.
Given: 1, 3, 7, 7, 16, 21, 27, 30, 31.
a. First, arrange the scores in ascending order.
b. Second, Locate the position of the score in the
distribution.
Position of Q1 =¼ (𝑛 + 1), Q1 = 2.5
Since the result is a decimal number, Interpolation
is needed.
c. Third, Interpolate the value to obtain the 1st
quartile.
Steps of Interpolation:
Step 1: Subtract the 2nd data from the 3rd data
7−3=4
Step 2: Multiply the result by the decimal part
obtained in the second step (Position of Q1).
4(0,5) = 2
Step 3: Add the result in step 2, to the 2nd or
smaller number.
3+2=5

I. Evaluating Learning
Therefore, the value of Q1 = 5.
2. Can you now find Q3 using Interpolation?
Note: As we can see, these methods sometimes
(but not always) produce the same result.
Activity: Find Me.
Think-Pair-Share
Instruction: The students must be divided into
two groups, the group of tutees (Average
Learners) and the tutors (Advanced Learners).
Every member will be paired up in this activity
and answer the designated questions each and
discuss the process as well as the final answer
to their partner afterwards.
