Learning Competency : Calculate the quartiles of ungrouped data (M10SP-IV-b-1)
Learning Target : Find the quartiles of ungrouped data
Reference : Mathematics 10 Learner’s Module pp. 366 – 367

The quartiles are the score-points which divide a distribution into four equal parts.
Twenty-five percent (25%)of the distribution are below the first quartile, fifty percent (50%) are
below the second quartile, and seventy- five (75%) are below the third quartile. Q1 is called the
lower quartile and Q 3 is the upper quartile. Q 1 <Q 2 <Q 3 where Q 2 is the median. The difference
between Q3andQ1is the interquartile range.

Since the second quartile is equal to the median, the steps in finding the median are the
same as the steps in finding the Q 1 and Q 3 .

Q1 Q 2 Q3

a. 25% of the data has a value ≤ Q1


b. 50% of the data has a value ≤ Md or Q 2
c. 75% of the data has a value ≤ Q3

Example: 1) The owner of a coffee shop recorded the number of customers who came into his
cafe each hour in a day. The results were 14, 10, 12, 9, 17, 5, 8, 9, 14, 10, and 11. Find the lower
quartile and upper quartile of the data.

Solution:
 The ascending order of the data is 5,8, 9, 9, 10, 10, 11, 12, 14, 14, 17
 The least value in the data is 5 and the greatest value in the data is 17
 The middle value in the data is 10
 The lower quartile is the value that is between the middle value and the least value in
the data set.
 So, the lower quartile is 9
 The upper quartile is the value that is between the middle value and the greatest value
in the data set.
 So, the upper quartile is 14
9+14
 The average of the lower quartile and the upper quartile is = 11.5

Learning Target : Find the quartiles of ungrouped data using Mendenhall and Sincich
Method
Reference : Mathematics 10 Learner’s Module pp. 368-369

Concept Notes:
In this activity, apply your priorknowledge and skills involving quartiles by using
Mendenhall and Sincich Method.

Example: ( Using Mendenhall and Sincich Method )


Find the first quartile (Q 1 ¿and the third quartile (Q3), given the set of data:
1 , 3 , 7 , 7 , 16 , 21 , 27 , 30 , 31
Solution:
To find for Q 1, locate its position using the formula ¼( n + 1 ) and round off to the
nearest integer.
Position of Q 1 = ¼ ( n + 1 )

= ¼ ( 9 + 1)

= ¼ ( 10 )

= 2.5
The computed value 2.5 becomes 3 after rounding up. Thelower quartile value ( Q1) is the 3rd
data element , so Q 1 = 7.
Similarly :
Position of Q 3 = ¾ ( n + 1 )

= ¾( 9+1)

= ¾ ( 10 )

= 7.5
The computed value 7.5 becomes 7 after rounding down.
The upper quartile value ( Q 3 ) is the 7th data element, so Q 3 = 27. Using thismethod,
the upper quartile ( Q3) and lower quartile ( Q 1) values are always twoof the data elements.

EXERCISES:
1) Find the first quartile ( Q 1), second quartile ( Q 2 ), and the third quartile ( Q 3 ), given the

Learning Competency : Calculate quartiles of ungrouped data ( M10SP-IVb-1)
Learning Target : Find the quartiles of ungrouped data using Interpolation Method
Reference : Mathematics 10 Learner’s Module pp. 369 – 371

Interpolation is an estimation of a value within two known valuesin a sequence of


values. Using interpolation method sometimes ( but notalways ) produces the same results.

Example 1) Find the first quartile ( Q 1), and the third quartile ( Q 3), given the scores of 10
students in their Mathematics activity using Linear Interpolation.
1 27 16 7 31 7 30 3 21
Solution:
a) First arrange the scores in ascending order.
1 3 7 7 16 21 27 30 31
b) Second, locate the position of the score in the distribution.
Position of ( Q 1) = ¼ ( n + 1 )
=¼( 9+1)
= ¼ ( 10 )
= 2.5
c) Third, interpolate the value to obtain the 1st quartile.
Steps of interpolation:
Step 1 : Subtract the second data from third data. 7–3= 4
Step 2 : Multiply the result by the decimal part obtained in the
second step ( Position ofQ 1) 4 ( 0.5 ) = 2
Step 3 : Add the result in step 2 , to the second or smaller number.
3 + 2 = 5
Q
Therefore, the value of 1 = 5.
d) Locate the position of Q 3 in the distribution.
Position of Q 3 = ¾ ( n + 1 )
= ¾ (9 + 1 )
= ¾ ( 10 ) = 7. 5
Since the result is a decimal, interpolation is needed.
e) Interpolate the value to obtain the third quartile.
Steps of interpolation:
Step 1 : Subtract the 7th data from 8th data. 30 – 27 = 3
Step 2 : Multiply the result by the decimal part obtained in the third
step ( Position of Q 3). 3 ( 0.5 ) = 1.5
Step 3 : Add the result in step 2, ( 1.5 ), to the 7th or smaller number.
27 + 1.5 = 28.5
Therefore, the value of Q3 = 28.5
EXERCISES:

1) Find the first quartile ( Q 1), second quartile ( Q 2), and the third quartile

Learning Target : Find the percentiles for ungrouped data
Reference : Mathematics 10 Learner’s Module pp. 376 – 377

Concept Notes:
The percentiles are the ninety –nine score points which divide a distribution into one
hundred equal parts, so that each part represents the data set. It is used to characterize values
according to the percentage below them. For example, the firstpercentile (P 1 ) separates the
lowest 1% from the other 99%, thesecond percentile ( P2 ) separates the lowest 2% from the
other98%, and so on.

The percentiles determine the value for 1%, 2% , ......, and 99% of the data. P 30 or 30th
percentile of the data means 30% of the data have values less than or equal to P 30 .
The first decile is the 10th percentile (P10 ). It means 10% of the data is less
than or equal to the value of P10 or D1 , and so on.
Example: Find the 30th percentile or P30 the following test scores of a random
sample of ten students: 35 , 42 , 40 , 28 , 15 , 23 , 33 , 20 , 18 , and 28
Solution:
Arrange the scores from the lowest to the highest.

Concept Notes :
Percentile ranks are particularly useful in relating individual scores to their positions in the
entire group. A percentile rank is typically defined as the proportion of scores in a distribution
that a specific score is greater than or equal to.
The percentile rank denoted by PPR is computed as follows:

Reference : Mathematics 10 Learner’s Module pp. 376-378

Concepts:
The percentiles are the ninety-nine score points which divide the distribution into one
hundred equal part, so that each part represents the data set. It is used to characterize values
according to the percentage below them.

Example.
Find the 30th Percentile or P30 of the following test scores of a random sample of ten
students. ( 35, 42, 40, 28, 15, 23, 33, 20, 118, 28 )

Solution:
Arrange the score from lowest to highest
(15, 18, 20, 23, 28, 28, 33, 35, 40, 42 )

To find its P30 position use the formula k ( n + 1 ) / 100 and round off to the nearest integer.
Position of P30 = 30 ( 10 + 1 ) /100
= 30 ( 11 ) /100
= 3.3
rd
P30 is the 3 element, Therefore, P30 = 20
It means 30% of all the scores obtained is less than or equal to the score of 20.

Activity. Given a test in Calculus, the 75th percentile score is 15.

Percentile ranks are particularly useful in relating individual score to their positions in
the entire group. A percentile rank is typically defined as the proportion of scores in a
distribution that a specific score is greater than or equal to.

Example: Assume the role of a researcher who wanted to know the percentage of
Consultants who earn Php 5,400.00 or more per day.

P = 5,400.00 i = 1200
Therefore, 55% of the consultants earn Php 5,400.00 or less per day and 45% of the consultants
earns Php 5,400.00 or more per day.

Analysis of Data is done after all statistical information have been collected, organized
and presented as frequency distribution and the mean, the median and the mode are
computed.

Example: Two top car salesmen are vying for a supervisory position. To help resolve who
performed better, the sales manager made a table and compared their sales in the last 7
months.

Month Salesman 1 Salesman 2


1 8 10
2 12 12
3 6 12
4 8 11
5 6 8
6 38 12
7 6 12
Total 84 77
Byjust looking at the table, Salesman 1 seems to be the better salesman, since he sold a total of
84 cars as against salesman 2, who sold only 77 cars.

By computing the mean, Salesman 1 84/7 = 12


Salesman 2 77/7 = 11
Therefore, you would conclude that salesman 2 did better although his mean is less than that of
the salesman 1. Salesman 1 has a mean of 12,only because of his very high output for the 6 th
month which is 38 on the other hand, salesman 2 consistently sold 11 or 12 cars.
