Measures of

 Measures of Relative Location
In Statistics, it is helpful to group
subjects into several equal parts when
presenting or analyzing the data set.
In such cases, we are using the
measures of relative location such as
quartiles, deciles and percentiles.
Measures of Relative Location

 QUARTILE - A measure of
position that divides the data into
4 equal parts.
 Measures of Relative Location

 DECILE - A measure of position

that divides the data into 10 equal
parts.
 Measures of Relative Location
 PERCENTILE - A measure of
position that divides the data into
100 equal parts.
Q2 = D5 =P50 = MEDIAN
 Quartile Decile Percentile

Where:
N = is the population
k = is the location/position
NOTE: IF YOUR ANSWER HAS DECIMAL,
ALWAYS ROUND UP or +1 (to whole number) FOR
THE LOCATION
EXAMPLE:
Given the ages of irregular
students in a university.
The ages are: 21, 19, 21, 20, 18,
25, 23, 18, 29, 17 and 26.
