MEASURES OF POSITION
 The measures of position or quantiles are used to
described the location of a specific place of data in
relation to the rest of the sample.

FORMULA:

[ ]
Pr= Ll + rn/100-cf i
f
Ll = lower limit of Qr|Pr|Dr class
N = total number of given data
R = is the sub of Q, P, D
Cf = cumulative frequency of Qr|Pr|Dr class
F = frequency
I = interval
FIND:

P50
 First, simplify the value of rn/100
rn/100 = 50(50)/100 = 2500/100
=25
 Then locate 25 in cumulative frequency where it belongs that is on the cumulative fequency
25.

Therefore we have:
Ll = 78.5
Cf = 18
F=7
I=9
 [
P50 = Ll + rn/100-cf i ]
F

= 78.5 + [ 25-18 ] 9
7

= 78.5 + [ 7/7 ] 9
= 78.5 + [ 1 ] 9
= 78.5 + 9
P50 = 87.5
