II. MODIFIED TRUE OR FALSE (NR x 2 = 20 points)

Directions: Write TRUE if it is correct, if not, change the underlined words to make it correct.
______________1. The quartile rank of a data tells us how many percent of all cases got below the rank
position.

______________2. The mode of a grouped data is denoted by the symbol .

______________3. The measures of central tendency includes the percentile, quartile, and decile.
______________4. The measures of dispersion include the mean, median, and mode.
______________5. The mean deviation, standard deviation, and quartile belong to the measure of
position.
III. ANALOGY (NR x 2 = 10 points)
Directions: Underline the word that does not belong to the group. State the relationship between the
remaining words.
1) Mean, median, mode, range
Reason:
2) Summation of frequency, product of the class mark and frequency, cumulative frequency
Reason:
3) Percentile, decile, quartile, mean deviation
Reason:
