Measures of
Position for
Ungrouped Data
DepED – Region IVA CALABARZON
Measures of Position
• Numerical measures that tell the
position of a data value relative to the
rest of the entire data set

• Percentiles, deciles, quartiles, median

DepED – Region IVA CALABARZON

✓ The word data
12
refers to
information that
is collected and
recorded. It can
be in form of
numbers, words,
measurements
and much more.

1. Define median.
2. How to find the
median of ungrouped
data?
  In applying the concept of median, you
arrange all the observations/scores/data in
either ascending or descending order.
14

 This ordered set is then divided into two

equal parts.
 The median then is the middle number that
divides the data into two equal parts.
 Fifty percent of the data is below the
median (lower half).
Example:
A. In their Physical Education class, seven
students practiced shooting the basketball ball
from the free throw line for twenty times.
Below is the list of the successful shots done by
the seven students.
9, 3, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11
Find the median of the data set.
16
Example:
A. In their Physical Education class, eight
students participated in throwing the shot put.
Below is the list of how far the shot put
reached per student.
17, 7, 5, 9, 11, 3, 13, 15
Find the median of the data set.

2. The number of tornadoes that
have occurred in the US in the last
8 years follows. Find the median.
684,764,656,702,856,1133,1132,1303
3. The ages of 10 college students
are given below. Find the median.
18, 24, 20, 35, 19, 23, 26,
23,19,20
4. Six customers purchased the
following number of magazines:
1,7,3,2,3,4. Find the median.
In the previous activity, we only divided
the data set into two equal parts, but we
24

may also divide the data set into more

parts of equal sizes such as into four, ten,
or even hundred parts. Doing this will
require us to compute for quartiles,
deciles, and percentiles, respectively.
25

 If the data are arranged in ascending order, the second quartile,

𝑄2, is the median of the data set. This means that 50% of the
numbers in the data set lie below 𝑄2.
 The first quartile, 𝑄1 is the median of the lower half of the data
set. This means that 25% of the numbers in the data set lie below
𝑄1.
 The third quartile, 𝑄3 is the median of the upper half of the data
set. This means that 75% of the numbers in the data set lie below
𝑄3
26
1. Write the numbers in ascending order.
2. Determine the least value in the data and the
greatest value in the data.
3. What is the middle value in the data.
4. Find the lower quartile (the value between the
middle value and the least value in the data set.)
5. Find the upper quartile (the value between the
middle value and the greatest value in the data
set.)

Additional Activities
1. The owner of a coffee shop recorded the
number of customers who came into his café
each hour in a day. The results were 14, 10,
12, 9, 17, 5, 8, 9, 14, 10, and 11. Find the
lower quartile and upper quartile of the
data.
2. Find the average of the lower quartile
and the upper quartile of the
data.
3. The lower quartile of a
data set is the 8th data
value. How many data values
are there in the data set?
4. Albert has an assignment to ask
at random 10 students in their
school about their ages.
