 MEASURES OF OTHER POSITION

At the end of the chapter the students are expected:

Perform efficiently and honestly the computations of

measures of other position in the distribution.

Learning Outcomes
 QUANTILES

It is a score distribution where the scores

are divided into different equal parts.
There are three kinds of quantiles:
Quartile,
Decile and
 Percentile.
 QUARTILE
• A measure of position that divides the ordered
observations or score distribution into 4 equal parts.
 DECILE
• A measure of position that divides the ordered
observations or score distribution into 10 equal
parts.
PERCENTILE
• A measure of position that divides the ordered
observations or score distribution into 100 equal
parts.
QUARTILE, DECILE & PERCENTILE

Q2 = D5 =P50 = MEDIAN
