The document discusses quartiles, deciles, and percentiles, which are ways to divide a frequency distribution curve into equal areas. The median divides the curve into two equal areas. Quartiles divide the curve into four equal areas, deciles divide it into ten equal areas, and percentiles divide it into one hundred equal areas. To find these values, the data is arranged in ascending order and the cut-off points that divide the data into the appropriate number of equal areas are determined using the same process as calculating the median.

Median is the middle point in the axis frequency distribution
curve, and it divides the area under the curve into two equal parts, having the same area in the left, and in the right.
On similar basis, the area under the curve may be divided
into four equal areas or parts, called as quartiles. In the same procedure divide the area for ten equally pieces and each area is called deciles. Finally where divided the area for hundred equally pieces and each area is called percentiles. The same procedure for division is done for finding percentiles for any frequency distributed curve P1 = first percentile P2 = second percentile P3 = third percentile . . . P99 = ninety ninth percentile Where: A1 = A2 = A3 = A4 = . . . .= A100
To find the quartiles, or deciles, or percentiles we follow the same procedure to
fined the median. Arrangement the data in ascending form only.
If numbering arrangement of quartiles, deciles, and percentiles is fraction then its
value is for the number greater than it, if true number the value is the mean of its and the greater numbers. QUARTILES DECILES PERCENTILES
