Measures of Position tell where a specific data
value falls within the data set or its relative
position in comparison with other data values.
The most common measures of position are
quartiles, deciles and percentiles.
Mendenhall and Sincich Method

To find the quartiles for ungrouped data, we apply the formula

𝑘
Qk = (n + 1)
4
Lower Quartile(L) is the Position of Q1

1
Q1 = (n + 1)
4

where n represents the total number of elements or terms.

Upper Quartile(U) is the Position of Q3;

3
𝑄3 = (n + 1)
4

where n represents the total number of elements or terms.

For example, we have the data,
{7,21,7,16,27,1,30,3,31}
{1,3,7,7,16,21,27,30,31}
n=9
1
𝑄1 = (n + 1)
4
1
= (9 + 1)
4
1
= (10)
4
= 2.5
= 2.5 or 3
𝑄1 = 7
For example, we have the data,
{7,21,7,16,27,1,30,3,31}
{1,3,7,7,16,21,27,30,31}
n=9
𝑄3 = 3/4 (𝑛 + 1)
3
= (9 + 1)
4
3
= (10)
4
= 7.5
= 7.5 or 8
𝑄3 = 30
Since our n is odd, we will find the middle value,
the middle value is 16 so 𝑄2 =16.
GROUP ACTIVITY
Find the first quartile(Q1), second quartile(Q2)
and the third quartile (Q3), given the scores of 10
students in their Mathematics activity
{4,9,7,14,10,8,12,15,6,11}.
PAIR ACTIVITY

Ira, a grade 10 student of Matuyatuya National High School gathered

data about the number of students per sections in junior high school and
the results are as follow:

7 Science Class – 20 8 Science Class – 12 9 Science Class – 25 10 Beryl – 29

7 Alexandrite – 30 8 Coral – 42 9 Diamond – 40 10 Topaz – 30
7 Pearl – 34 8 Ruby – 41 9 Amethyst – 42 10 Jade – 31
7 Carnelian – 33 8 Emerald 32 9 Limestone – 44 10 Sapphire - 30
25% of the data has a value of what?
50% of the data has a value of what?
75% of the data has a value of what?
Q1 is called what?
Q3 is called what?
How do we calculate the quartiles?
