• 5 Questions on Solving Measures of Position
for Grouped Data, using quizizz
• https://quizizz.com/join?gc=067681
Questions:
1. What is the data being presented
in the problem?
Is it ungrouped or grouped data?
2. What measure of position is being
asked?
Is it quartile? decile? percentile?
3. What is the procedure to perform
and the formula to use?
Example 1. 
Coconut oil is one of the buy-products of coconut tree. It
has many benefits to human lives. It is under researched
now a days as one of the supplement that could help
covid patient. It contains natural saturated fats that
increase good cholesterol levels in human bodies. In TLE
we learned about these saturated and unsaturated fats.
Tropicana Food Products, Inc. (TFPI)– San Pablo City,
Laguna has been the manufacturer of coconut products
such as pioneering Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) production
in 1985. It has been a major supplier of many VCO
brands both locally and internationally. Supposed it has
50 employees with the age data shown on the table:

in the problem?
Is it ungrouped or grouped data?
Grouped data
2. What measure of position is being
asked?
Is it quartile? decile? percentile?

3. What is the formula to be used?
Formula:

total frequency cumulative frequency of the

Steps:
1. Find the position of the P60 class.
2. Look for the class interval where 30th value belongs.
3. Substitute the data needed in the formula.

Learning Task 2
The scores of first 50 respondents in the Quiz in Mathematics
10 last 3rd quarter, I collected in the google form of my Grade 10
class are summarized in the table below

Find the 3rd quartile, the 62nd percentile, and the 8th decile of
the set of data. Interpret each measure of position.
 SCORING RUBRICS
Point Solution Process The Conclusion/Answer
4 A complete and Accurate conclusion, supported by valid
appropriate solution evidence and reasons, appropriate to this
process problem and context
3 An appropriate Inaccurate but logical conclusion,
solution process that supported by evidence and reasoning but
is almost complete incorrect due to a minor factual error (in
details of problem, in computation, recall a
formula etc.) or minor mistake in reasoning

2 An appropriate Inaccurate but logical conclusion that

process that is overlooks, or get wrong significant facts
partially complete (about the problem, the rule, computation,
etc.)
1 An inappropriate Inappropriate conclusion, not supported by
process or no facts and logic, or there is no conclusion
evidence of a process
