4. The performance rating of 100 students of certain college were taken and presented in a
frequency distribution as follows;
Classes f <cumf
70-73 2 2
74-77 8 10
78-81 16 26 – 1st Quartile, 2nd Decile
82-85 19 45 – 40th Percentile
86-89 24 69
90-93 18 87 – 3rd Quartile, 7th Decile, 75th
Percentile
94-97 13 100
Compute the value of the following;
(a) Value of the 1st and 3rd Quartiles
a. Values of the first and third quartile Q1=81.25
To compute the value of Q1,
1. n/4 = 100/4 = 25 To compute the value of Q3,
2. cumfb = 10 1. 3n/4 = 3 (100)/4 = 75
3. 1st quartile class: 78 – 81 2. cumfb = 69
4. xb = 78 – 0.5 = 77.5 3. 3rd quartile class: 90 – 93
5. fQ1 = 16 4. xb = 90 – 0.5 = 89.5
6. Substitute 5. fQ3 =18
n/4−cumf b n/4−cumf b
Q 1=x b + ( f Q1 ) c ; For the first Q 3=x b + ( f Q3 ) c For the third

quartile, k = 1 quartile, k = 3

Q3=90.833
(b) Value of the 2nd and 7th Decile
b. Values of the second and seventh decile
To compute the value of D2, To compute the value of D7,
1. kn/10 = 2 (100)/10 = 20 1. 7n/10 = 7 (100)/10 = 70
2. cumfb = 10 2. cumfb = 69
3. 2nd decile class: 78 – 81 3. 7th decile class: 90 – 93
4. xb = 78 – 0.5 = 77.5 4. xb = 90 – 0.5 = 89.5
5. fD2 = 16 5. fD7 = 18
6. Substitute 6. Substitute
2 n /10−cumf b 7 n/10−cumf b
D 2=x b + ( f D2 )c D 7=x b + ( f D7 )

(c) values of the 40th and 75th Percentile

To compute the value of P40, 3. 40th percentile class: 90 – 93
1. 40n/100 = 40 (100)/100 = 40 4. xb = 90 – 0.5 = 89.5
2. cumfb = 26 5. fP75 = 18
3. 40th percentile class: 82 – 85 6. Substitute
4. xb = 82 – 0.5 = 81.5
5. fP40 = 19 75 n /10−cumf b
6. Substitute
40 n/10−cumf b
P75=x b + ( f P 75
c )
P40=x b + ( f P 40
c ) ( 75−69
