 LEARNING COMPETENCIES:
1. Illustrate deciles of grouped
data.
2. Compute for the deciles of
grouped data.
DECILES
are the nine score values that divide a
distribution into 10 equal parts. It can be
observed that is also the median of the
set of data.

where LB – lower boundary of the decile class ()

n – total of the frequencies
k – nth decile where n = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8, & 9
- cumulative frequency before the
decile class
- frequency of the decile class
i – class size or interval
