Then, what are the measures of central The measures of central tendency are the
tendency? mean, median and the mode.
What is mean? The mean is the average of the data set.
How about median? The median is the middle term of the data.
And what is mode? The mode is most frequent occurring value in
the data.

2. ANALYSIS

This morning, our lesson is all about

Measures of Positions on Quartiles.

But before that, let’s define these

terms first.

What do we mean when we say The measure is about an amount or degree

measure? of something.

Any other definition? None, ma’am.

 Let us read the definition of measure. Measure is a standard unit used to express
the size, amount, or degree of something.

How about position? Position for me, ma’am, is all about taking an
action of where you belong. It gives us
direction. (Answer may vary.)

Yes. Another definition, position is all about

arranging a particular position of persons.

For instance, what is your position among (Answer may vary.)

the siblings in your family?

Now, let’s talk about quartile.

What is quartile? Who has an idea? No idea, ma’am.

A quartile is a statistical term that describes

a division of observations into four defined
intervals based on the values of the data
and how they compare to the entire set of
observations.

Like in our quarterly examination, it is 3rd quarter and 4th quarter ma’am.
divided into 4 quarters, 1 st quarter, 2nd
quarter and what else?

Now let’s discuss about the quartile. Please Quartile i s the score points which divide a
read the definition for quartile. distribution into four equal parts.

We have 3 quartiles, the lower quartile

Q1, middle quartile or median Q2, and the
upper quartile Q3.

25% of the data has value ≤ Q1.

50% of the data has a value ≤ Q2
75% of the data has a value of ≤Q3.

We have the formula for getting quartiles.

Quartiles for ungrouped data:

Steps:
 Arrange the observations in
ascending or descending order.
n+1
 Q1 = value of th observation
4
2(n+1) n+1
 Q2 = value of or th
4 2
observation

 3(n+1)
 Q3 = value of th observation
4
*Q2 =Median

If your answer is in decimal, used the linear

interpolation formula:
Steps:
 Find the difference between the
2 values wherein Qn is situated.
 Get the decimal part result and
multiply it with the difference of
the 2 values where Qn is
situated.
 Add the result to the smallest
value wherein Qn is situated.

Let’s have an example:

The scores of 7 students in a Mathematics

seatwork are: 7, 4, 3, 6, 7, 4, 8. Find Q1, Q2,
and Q3.

1st step _________________________ Arranging the data into ascending

write the scores on the board 3,4,4,6,7,7,8

2nd step is to find Q1. What formula are n+1

we going to use? Q1 = value of th observation
4

Let us solve, substitute for the values where n n+1

=7 Q1 = value of th observation
4
where n = 7
7+1
Q1 = value of th observation
4
8
Q1 = value of th observation
4
Q1 = value of 2th observation
Explain your answer.
Since Q1 = 2th observation, then, from the
given data 3,4,4,6,7,7,8; 2th observation = 4

So, we have the 2nd position as the

lower quartile. Q1 is 4. Then, we can say
that 25% of the data has values of ≤ 4.

3rd step is to find Q2. Use the formula

2(n+1) n+1
Q2 = value of or th
4 2
observation

President Elpidio QuirinoNatioinal High School

San Agustin East, Agoo, La Union
(72) 687-0599 / peqnhsagoo@gmail.com …….where future leaders grow!
 Let us solve for the Q2 and explain your work. 2(n+1) n+1
Q2 = value of or th observation
4 2
7+1
Q2 = value of th observation
2
8
Q2 = value of th observation
2
Q2 = value of 4th observation = 6

Is the answer correct? Yes or No? Yes ma’am, the answer is correct because
And why? the Median of the scores is 6 and Q2 =
Median, therefore the answer is correct.
Good job!

Then, we can say that 50% of the data has

values of ≤ 6.

4th step is to find Q3. Use the formula 3(n+1)

Q3 = value of th observation; n=7
3(n+1) 4
Q3 = value of th observation; n=7
4 3(7+1)
Q3 = value of th observation
Solve for the Q3. 4

Discuss your work. 3(8)

Q3 = value of th observation
4
24
Q3 = value of th observation
4
Q3 = value of 6th observation = 7

Then, we can say that 75% of the data has

values of ≤ 7.
Let’s have another example.
Find Q1, Q2, and Q3 for the data set 10,
2, 9, 15, 23, 30, 8, 17, 25, 28.

What is the 1st step? Arrange the data in ascending order.

2, 8, 9, 10, 15, 17, 23, 25, 28, 30

What is next after arranging the data in After arranging the data in ascending order,
ascending order? find the value of Q1, Q2 and Q3,.

Then, let us solve for Q1 first. n+1

Q1 = value of th observation, n=10
4
10+1
Q1 = value of th observation
4
11
Q1 = value of th observation
4
Q1 = value of 2.75th observation
*Since the answer is in decimal, we are going
to use linear interpolation method.

 Q1 = 2.75th
2, 8, 9, 10, 15, 17, 23, 25, 28, 30
The values where Q1 situated are:
2th = 8
3rd = 9
Find the difference of the 2 values.
9–8 =1

President Elpidio QuirinoNatioinal High School

(72) 687-0599 / peqnhsagoo@gmail.com …….where future leaders grow!
 Multiply the decimal part (0.75) to the
difference of the two values.
1(0.75) = 0.75
Add the result to the lowest value where Q 1
situated.
8+ 0.75 = 8.75
Therefore, Q1 = 8.75

Then, we can say that 25% of the data has

values of ≤ 9.75.

Next, let’s solve for the value of Q2. n+1

Q2 = value of th observation; n=10
2
10+1
Q2 = value of th observation
2
11
Q2 = value of th observation
2
Q2 = value of 5.5th observation
Q2 = 5.5th

2, 8, 9, 10, 15, 17, 23, 25, 28, 30

X5 = 15 ; x6 = 17
 17 – 15 = 2
 2(0.5) = 1
 15 + 1 = 16
Therefore, Q2 = 16.

We can say that 50% of the data has values of

≤ 16.

Last, let’s find the value of Q3. 3(n+1)

Q3 = value of th observation; n=10
4
3(10+1)
Q3 = value of th observation
4
3(11)
Q3 = value of th observation
4
33
Q3 = value of th observation
4
Q3 = value of 8.25th observation

Q3 = 8.25th
2, 8, 9, 10, 15, 17, 23, 25, 28, 30
X8 = 25; X9 = 28
 28 – 25 = 3
 3(0.25) = 0.75
 25 + 0.75 = 25.75
Therefore, Q3 = 25.75

Then, we can say that 75% of the data has

values of ≥ 25.75.

The answer is correct! Any questions? None, ma’am.

Clarifications? Violent reactions?

What is our lesson this morning?
Why is it important to study the measure of
position?
How do we solve for Q1, Q2, and Q3 of
ungrouped data?
How do we apply it in the real-life situation?
Yes, very good!
So, we can give focus on the grades we need
to improve.

Our lesson this morning is all about
measures of position on quartiles.
It is important for us to know or to study the
measure of position because it gives us a way
to see where a certain data point or value falls
in a sample distribution. It tells us whether a
value is about the average , or whether it’s
unusually high or low.
We can solve for Q1, Q2, and Q3 of ungrouped
data by the following steps and formula:
First is arrange the observations in ascending
or descending order.
Then solve for the value of Q1, Q2, and Q3 of
ungrouped data using the following formula:
Q1 = value of (n+1)/4 th observation
Q2 = value of (2(n+1))/4 or (n+1)/2th
observation
Q3 = value of (3(n+1))/4 th observation
*Q2 =Median
If your answer is in decimal, used the linear
interpolation formula:
Steps:
1. Find the difference between the 2
values wherein Qn is situated.
2. Get the decimal part result and
multiply it with the difference of the 2
values where Qn is situated.
3. Add the result to the smallest value
wherein Qn is situated.
We apply it using our grades ma’am if it is
below the average or above the average.
…….where future leaders grow!
I will give you another scenario for measures
of position.
When your 9 classmates will fall in line, then
we arrange them in ascending order from
shortest to tallest, what is the position of the The position of the 5th Q2 or median
5th person? Are you sure? ma’am. Yes ma’am.

How about the 3rd person from the shortest to The 3rd person from the shortest to
tallest? tallest is Q1 ma’am.

Is that correct? Very good! Yes, ma’am.

What about positions of quartile? The positions of quartile are 3, t h e lower

quartile, middle quartile and the upper
quartile.

What is the other term for the middle quartile? The middle quartile is the median, ma’am.

Very good!

4. Application
Using the same group, I want you to choose
one representative each group to pick one
envelop from me. Each envelop has a task to
do.

Inside these envelopes there are problems for

you to solve, and also, it has a way on how
you present your work in front. Like dancing,
singing and others.
Yes, ma’am.
