If your name will be spinned, unmute your
mic to response.

The chosen students will be going to

answer the simple survey.
1. How many family members are there in
your home?
(students will answer the following questions)
2. Approximately how many hours do you
spend on your cellphone every day?

Each question will be answered by 11 chosen

students.

After the questions are filled up, I am

going to ask you, to arrange the details from
highest to lowest or vice versa.

The first student that will present a correct

answer will receive a point.

F. Presentation

Class, a measure of position

determines the position of a single value in
relation to other values in a sample or a
population data set. Measures of position are
otherwise known as quantiles. The three
measures of position are Quartiles, Deciles
and Percentiles.

The Quartile for Ungrouped Data are the

score points which divide a distribution into
four equal parts.

Example 1. The exam scores of 11 students

of grade 10 – Amethyst. 4 , 5 , 3 , 2 , 9 , 8 ,
6 , 8 , 5 , 7 , 8.

Find the 1st quartile (Q1) and 3 rd quartile

(Q3)

Ma’am 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 8 , 8 , 9
Okay Lazaro, Arrange the scores in
ascending order

Excellent!

Now we will find the middle score/s in this

problem.
2,3,4,5,5,6,7,8,8,8,9

Yes Galvez what will be is the middle score?

Ma’am 6 is the middle score

Very good ! 6 is our middle score

Here, the median score or the second quartile

(Q2) is divided into two parts. The lower
quartile is on the right side and the upper
quartile is on the left side.

Okay Miraflores, Find the first and third Ma’am the first quartiles is 4 and the third
quartiles. quartiles is 8
Yes, you are correct the value of Q1 is 4 and
Q3 is 8 based on their position on the data.
There’s a formula for Quartile

Formula to be used in the position:

k (n+ 1)
𝑄𝑘 =
4

Where n is the number of data and k is the

nth quartile. Let’s try to solve another
question.

Find the first quartile (Q1) and the third

quartile (Q3) given the scores of 10 students
in their Mathematics
activity. 11 , 8 , 12 , 6 , 9 , 10 , 14 , 15 , 5 , 7
Ma’am the first thing we need is arrange the
(input a name), what is the first step the we data into ascending order.
need to do to the given data?

Very good, that correct.

Ma’am it will became 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12,
(input a name), kindly arrange the data in 14, 15
ascending order and show it to us.

Very good, that’s correct.

After we arrange the data, next let’s find the

value of n. to find it, we simply need to count
how many entries does our data have.
Ma’am we have a total of 10 entries.
(input a name), will you count how many
entries does our data have?

Now let’s find the first quartile (Q1). To do

that, we need to use the formula 𝑄𝑘 =
k (n+ 1)
.
4

Since we are looking for first quartile (Q 1),

the value of K will be 1. And the value of n
will be 10 since we have a total of 10 entries.
Ma’am Q1 will be
1(10+1) 1(10+1)
Q1 = Q1 =
4 4
(input a name), please solve for the value of 1(11)
first quartile Q1. Q1 =
4
Very good, that’s correct.
 11
Q1 = or 2.75
𝑄1 = 2.75 it is somewhere 𝑏𝑒𝑡𝑤𝑒𝑒𝑛 2𝑛𝑑 4
𝑎𝑛𝑑 3𝑟𝑑 𝑑𝑎𝑡𝑎.

Since the result is a decimal number,

interpolation is needed.

Steps of Interpolation

Step 1: Subtract the 2nd data from the 3rd

data.
10 – 8 = 2

Step 2: Multiply the result by the decimal

part obtained in the second step (Position of
Q1)
2(0.75) = 1.5

Step 3: Add the result in step 2, to the 2nd or

smaller number.
8 + 1.5 = 9.5

Therefore, the value of Q1 = 9.5

It shows that 25% of the students have a

score less than or equal to 9.5.

Therefore, the lower quartile value (Q1) is the

3rd data element, so Q1 = 7.

Next, (input a name), please solve for the

value of third quartile Q3.
Ma’am Q1 will be
3(10+1)
Q1 =
4

3(11)
Q1 =
4

Since the result is a decimal number, Q1 = 33 or 8.25

interpolation is needed. 4

(input a name), please interpolate to find the

value of Q3.

28 – 25 = 3
3(0.25) = 0.75
25 + 0.75 = 25.75
 Therefore, the value of Q3 = 25.75

Excellent! You are correct. It shows that 75% of the students have a score
less than or equal to 25.75.
Let’s proceed to the Deciles of
Ungroup data. The deciles are the nine
score points which divide a distribution into
ten equal parts. They are deciles and are
denoted as D1, D2, D3,…, D9. They are
computed in the same way that the quartiles
are calculated.

Formula to be used in the position:

k (n+ 1)
𝐷𝑘 =
10

Where n is the number of data and k is the

nth decile.

Let’s have a new example.

Mr. Juan is a dentist. One morning, he asked

his secretary to record the service time for 15
customers. The following are service times
in minutes. 20 , 35 , 55 , 28 , 46 , 32 , 25 ,
56 , 55 , 28, 37 , 60 , 47 , 52 , 17. Compute
the value of the 5th decile and the 7th decile

(input a name), kindly arrange the data in

ascending order.

Ma’am it will became 17 , 20 , 25 , 28 , 28 , 32

, 35 , 37 , 46 , 47 , 52 , 55 , 55 , 56 , 60
Very good!

Next, (input a name), how many entries does

our data have?
Ma’am 15.
th
(input a name), please compute for the 5
decile.
 5(15+ 1)
D5 =
10

5(16)
D5 =
10
D5 yields a whole number so there’s no need
to interpolate it any more. 80
D5 = or 8 or the 8𝑡ℎ 𝑑𝑎𝑡𝑎
10
(input a name), what is the 8th data?

Very good! You are correct.

Ma’am the 8th data is 37. Therefore D5 = 37.
Next, (input a name), please compute for the
7th decile.

7(1 5+1)
D7 =
10

7(16)
D7 =
10
The result has a decimal number. Do we
need to interpolate it or not? 112
D7 = or 11.2 𝑑𝑎𝑡𝑎
10
Yes, that’s correct. Since the result is a
decimal number, interpolation is needed
Yes Ma’am we need to interpolate it.
(input a name), please interpolate to find the
value of D7.

55 – 52 = 3
3(0.2) = 0.6
52 + 0.6 = 52.6
Now, let’s process to the final measure of The 7th decile is
central tendency or what we called the equal to 52.6.
percentile.

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.

Formula to be used in the position:

 k (n+ 1)
𝑃𝑘 =
100
Where n is the number of data and k is the th
percentile.

Let’s have a new example.

The scores of Miss Universe candidates from

seven judges were recorded as follows: 8.05 ,
9.20 , 8.25 , 9.15 , 8.55 , 8.78 , 9.45. What
are the 25th percentile (P25) and 70th
percentile (P70) of the judges’ scores?

(input a name), kindly arrange the data in

ascending order.

Very good!
Ma’am it will became 8.05 , 8.25 , 8.55 ,
Next, (input a name), how many entries does 8.78 , 9.15 , 9.20 , 9.45
our data have?

(input a name), please compute for the 25th

percentile.
Ma’am 15.

25(7+1)
P25 =

25(8)
P25 =
100

200
Great! No need for further interpolation. P25 = or 2 or the 2nd 𝑑𝑎𝑡𝑎
100
(input a name), what is the 2nd data? Since the result is a whole number, so there’s
no need to interpolate.
Finally, the 70th percentile. (input a name),
would you kindly please solve it?
Ma’am the 2nd data is 8.25.
Therefore P25 = 8.25.

70(7+1)
P70 =

P70 =

(input a name), please interpolate to find the 56 0

value of P70. P70 = or 5.6 or between 5th and 6th data
100

Since the result has a decimal value, we need

to interpolate it.
Excellent! P70 is equal to 9.18.
9.20 – 9.15 = 0.05
0.05(0.60) = 0.03
G. Application: (Fill Me!) 9.15 + 0.03 = 9.18

Arrange the scores in ascending order and fill Therefore, 70% of the Miss Universe
