What I Need to Know

The Department of Education yearly administers the National Career
Assessment Examination (NCAE) to Grade 9 students. Now that you are in Grade 10,
do you still remember your score? What was your rank? Have you ever thought of
comparing your grade with that of your classmates? Whenever your teacher asks your
class to form a line according to your height, what is your position in relation to your
classmates? What General Weighted Average (GWA) would get you to qualify for
honors?

Why do you think certain students in any national examination get higher rank
than other students? Some state colleges and universities are offering scholarship
programs for graduating students who belong to the upper 5%, 10%, or even 25%.
What does this mean to you?

After going through the module, you are expected to:

What is It

LESSON Problems on Percentile and

1 Percentile Rank for Ungrouped Data

A What is Percentile?

PERCENTILES
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 instance, the first percentile (P1) separates the lowest 1% from the other
99%, the second percentile (P2) separates the lowest 2% from the other 98%,
and so on.

B What is Percentile Rank?

PERCENTILE
PERCENTILERANK
RANK
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. For instance, if you obtained a score of 95 in a math test and it is
greater than or equal to the scores of 88% of the students who took the test
then the percentile rank is 88.

FORMULA: Ungrouped Data

A. To solve for the position of the kth percentile score, follow the given formula
below.
k(n+1)
Pk = 100
The percentile corresponding to a given value x is computed by using the
following formula
NOTE: Follow the steps in finding the value
# of values ofXpercentiles
below + 0.5 of n data
Percentile = × 100%
total # of values

EXAMPLE 1: PERCENTILE
The ten Fast Food stores located at Paseo del Mar in Zamboanga City have the
following daily sales in Philippine Peso; 7100, 7500, 6900, 8200, 7000, 9200,
7800, 8700, 9800, and 8000. What is P75 and what does it imply?

STEPS ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE

STEP 1: Arrange the n data In ascending order:
values from lowest to highest.
6900, 7000, 7100, 7500, 7800, 8000, 8200,
8700, 9200, 9800

Since there 10 data values then n = 10

STEP 2: Find the position of
the 75th percentile (P75) using k(N + 1)
P75 =
the formula: 100
75(10 + 1)
P75 =
100
𝐤(𝐧 + 𝟏) 825
𝐏𝐤 = P75 =
𝟏𝟎𝟎 100
P75 = 8.25
(Round off to the nearest P75 ≈ 8 (8𝑡ℎ 𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒)
integer if necessary.)

5
 STEP 3: Locate the value of 6900, 7000, 7100, 7500, 7800, 8000, 8200,
the specified measures of 8700, 9200, 9800
position in the given set of
data. Since P75 is the 8th value then P75 = 8700.
Therefore, this implies that 75% of the data
distribution fall below 8700.

EXAMPLE 2: PERCENTILE RANK

Suppose you scored 77 on a test in a class of 10 students. With the 10 scores

listed below, what percent of the students got a score lower than you?
93 82 64 75 98 52 77 88 90 71

STEPS ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE

STEP 1: Arrange the n data In ascending order:
values from lowest to highest.
52 64 71 75 77 82 88

90 93 98

Note that 𝑋 = 77 and hence there are 4 scores

below 77
STEP 2: Find the percentage Percentile
of scores below 77. # of values below X + 0.5
= × 100%
total # of values
4 + 0.5
Percentile = × 100%
10
# of values below X+0.5
= × 100% = 45%
total # of values

Therefore, a score of 77 has a percentile rank of

45. This implies that 45% of the data distribution
fall below 77.

Remember that Percentiles are expressed by ordinal numbers (1st, 2nd,

3rd...99th) that refer to actual values or scores in a data set while as percentile ranks
are expressed by percentages. Hence, we use the formula for percentile to
characterize values according to the percentage below a certain data value; on the
other hand, percentile rank is the percentage of the data value.

6
When do we use Quartiles, Deciles and Percentiles?

When we are dividing data into equal parts we are commonly talking about
quartiles, deciles and percentiles. Quartiles divide the data into four parts;
deciles divide the data into 10 parts; and percentiles divide the data into 100
parts.

Quartiles are often used as a measure of spread of the data in what is called
the interquartile range (IQR). The IQR is simply the difference between the
third quartile and first quartile.

Deciles and percentiles are usually applied to large data sets. Deciles divide
a data set into ten equal parts. One example of the use of deciles is in school
awards or rankings such as students in the top 10%.

Percentiles divide the data set into groupings of 1%. Standardized tests often
report percentile scores. These scores help compare students’ performances
to that of their peers. Growth charts are another common example of an
application of percentiles. To help doctors and parents determine if a child is
developing normally, his or her measurements are compared with others in
the same sex and age groups.

ACTIVITY 1

Directions: Refer to the given problem below. Compute for the percentile scores and
interpret the results. Show a proper solution and BOX your final answer
on a separate sheet of paper.

The crisis brought about by the COVID-19 has posted a lot of challenges for
everyone. One of which is the implementation of the Enhanced Community Quarantine
(ECQ) which caused many to lose their jobs. With no definite end in sight yet for the
COVID-19 crisis, many Filipinos are counting on the government for financial help.
This is where its Social Amelioration Program (SAP) comes in. This program aims to
administer emergency cash assistance to families with minimum wage who are greatly
affected by the ECQ. Below are the daily minimum wages of forty (40) SAP
beneficiaries of a certain barangay in Zamboanga City.

What’s More:
ACTIVITY 1
a. P25 = 10.25 ≈ 10 (10𝑡ℎ 𝑑𝑎𝑡𝑎 𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒); Since P25 is the 10th data value then
P25 = 332. Therefore, this implies that 25% of the data distribution fall below
332.
b. P70 = 28.70 ≈ 29 (29𝑡ℎ 𝑑𝑎𝑡𝑎 𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒); Since P70 is the 29th data value then
P70 = 368. Therefore, this implies that 70% of the data distribution fall below
368.
c. P95 = 38.95 ≈ 39 (39𝑡ℎ 𝑑𝑎𝑡𝑎 𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒); Since P95 is the 39th data value then
P95 = 385. Therefore, this implies that 95% of the data distribution fall below
385.
ACTIVITY 2Y 2:
a. Percentile = 72.5 ≈ 73; Therefore Maria has a percentile rank of 73. This
implies that 73% of the data values are below 29.
b. Percentile = 32.5 ≈ 33; Therefore the percentile rank of customers aged 22 is 33.
This implies that 33% of the customers are not allowed inside the convenience
store.
ACTIVITY 3does this percentile rank imply?
a. It implies that Ross got a score higher than 81% of the class.
b. Ross’ score is better because his score is above 81% of the class and only
19% of the class is above him.
c. 81% of the class got a score lower than Ross. Therefore, there are 45
students who got lower score than Ross.

 I AM A FILIPINO
by Carlos P. Romulo
I am a Filipino – inheritor of a glorious past, hostage to the
uncertain future. As such, I must prove equal to a two-fold
task – the task of meeting my responsibility to the past, and
the task of performing my obligation to the future.
I am sprung from a hardy race – child many generations
removed of ancient Malayan pioneers. Across the centuries,
the memory comes rushing back to me: of brown-skinned
men putting out to sea in ships that were as frail as their hearts
were stout. Over the sea I see them come, borne upon the
billowing wave and the whistling wind, carried upon the
mighty swell of hope – hope in the free abundance of the new
land that was to be their home and their children’s forever.
This is the land they sought and found. Every inch of shore
that their eyes first set upon, every hill and mountain that
beckoned to them with a green and purple invitation, every
mile of rolling plain that their view encompassed, every river
and lake that promised a plentiful living and the fruitfulness
of commerce, is a hollowed spot to me.
By the strength of their hearts and hands, by every right of
law, human and divine, this land and all the appurtenances
thereof – the black and fertile soil, the seas and lakes and
rivers teeming with fish, the forests with their inexhaustible
wealth in wild and timber, the mountains with their bowels
swollen with minerals – the whole of this rich and happy land
has been for centuries without number, the land of my
fathers. This land I received in trust from them, and in trust
will pass it to my children, and so on until the world is no
more.
I am a Filipino. In my blood runs the immortal seed of heroes
– seed that flowered down the centuries in deeds of courage
and defiance. In my veins yet pulses the same hot blood that
sent Lapulapu to battle against the alien foe, that drove Diego
Silang and Dagohoy into rebellion against the foreign
oppressor.
That seed is immortal. It is the self-same seed that flowered
in the heart of Jose Rizal that morning in Bagumbayan when
a volley of shots put an end to all that was mortal of him and
made his spirit deathless forever; the same that flowered in
the hearts of Bonifacio in Balintawak, of Gregorio del Pilar
at Tirad Pass, of Antonio Luna at Calumpit, that bloomed in
flowers of frustration in the sad heart of Emilio Aguinaldo at
Palanan, and yet burst forth royally again in the proud heart
of Manuel L. Quezon when he stood at last on the threshold
of ancient Malacanang Palace, in the symbolic act of
possession and racial vindication. The seed I bear within me
is an immortal seed.

It is the mark of my manhood, the symbol of my dignity as
a human being. Like the seeds that were once buried in the
tomb of Tutankhamen many thousands of years ago, it shall
grow and flower and bear fruit again. It is the insigne of my
race, and my generation is but a stage in the unending
search of my people for freedom and happiness.
I am a Filipino, child of the marriage of the East and the
West. The East, with its languor and mysticism, its passivity
and endurance, was my mother, and my sire was the West
that came thundering across the seas with the Cross and
Sword and the Machine. I am of the East, an eager
participant in its struggles for liberation from the imperialist
yoke. But I know also that the East must awake from its
centuried sleep, shake off the lethargy that has bound its
limbs, and start moving where destiny awaits.
For I, too, am of the West, and the vigorous peoples of the
West have destroyed forever the peace and quiet that once
were ours. I can no longer live, a being apart from those
whose world now trembles to the roar of bomb and cannon
shot. For no man and no nation is an island, but a part of the
main, and there is no longer any East and West – only
individuals and nations making those momentous choices
that are the hinges upon which history revolves. At the
vanguard of progress in this part of the world I stand – a
forlorn figure in the eyes of some, but not one defeated and
lost. For through the thick, interlacing branches of habit and
custom above me I have seen the light of the sun, and I
know that it is good. I have seen the light of justice and
equality and freedom, my heart has been lifted by the vision
of democracy, and I shall not rest until my land and my
people shall have been blessed by these, beyond the power
of any man or nation to subvert or destroy.
I am a Filipino, and this is my inheritance. What pledge
shall I give that I may prove worthy of my inheritance? I
shall give the pledge that has come ringing down the
corridors of the centuries, and it shall be compounded of the
joyous cries of my Malayan forebears when first they saw
the contours of this land loom before their eyes, of the battle
cries that have resounded in every field of combat from
Mactan to Tirad Pass, of the voices of my people when they
sing:
“I am a Filipino born to freedom, and I shall not rest until
freedom shall have been added unto my inheritance—for
myself and my children and my children’s children—
forever.”
