1. The numbers of hours spending of 12 gamers in computer shop have been

collected. The data obtained are as follows: 4, 17, 7, 14, 18, 12, 3, 16, 10, 4, 4,
and 11.
Quartile
Arrange: 3, 4, 4, 4, 7, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 17, 18
X 1 X 2 X 3 X 4 X 5 X 6 X 7 X8 X 9 X 10 X 11 X 12

Solve 2nd Quartile:

Qk th score

Substitute:

Q th score Q2 = 6 th score + 0.50 (7 th score – 6th score)

th score Q2 = 10 + 0.50 (11 – 10)

= 6.5 th score Q2 = 10.5

2 nd Quartile = 10.5
Decile
Arrange: 3, 4, 4, 4, 7, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 17, 18
X1 X2 X3 X4 X5 X6 X7 X8 X 9 X 10 X 11 X 12

Solve 6th Decile:

Dk th score

Substitute:

D th score Q2 = 7 th score + 0.60 (8 th score – 7th score)

th score Q2 = 11 + 0.60 (12 – 11)

= 7.6 th score Q2 = 11.6

 6 th Decile = 11.6

Percentile
Arrange: 3, 4, 4, 4, 7, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 17, 18
X 1 X 2 X 3 X 4 X 5 X 6 X7 X8 X9 X 10 X 11 X 1270 Solve
70th Percentile:

Pk th score

Substitute:

P th score P 70 = 8 th score + 0.70 (9 th score – 8th score)

th score P70 = 12 + 0.70 (14 – 12)

= 8.7 th score P70 = 13.4

70th Percentile= 13.4

2. Below is the distribution of scores of 32 students in fifty-item midterm
