II. Input/Discussion:
Definition of Terms:
Quartile – the score points that divides the distribution into 4 equal parts.
Decile – the score points that divides the distribution into 10 equal parts.
Percentile – the score points that divides the distribution into 100 equal parts.
Measures of position give us a way to see where a certain data point or value falls in a
sample or distribution. A measure can tell us whether a value is about the average, or
whether it's unusually high or low. Measures of position are used for quantitative data that
falls on some numerical scale.
Interpretation of this data is important for us to have an idea about how did we perform in
a certain situation. This will tell us if we did poorly, good, better, or maybe best in a task.
Example 1:
In a race, you finished on the position of the Q3. What is your performance in the race?
- Since your position is on Q3, it means that 75% of the participants finished the race
behind you and 25% of the participants finished ahead of you. Therefore, you did good
during the race.
Example 2:
Mrs. Labonete gave a test to her students in Statistics. The students finished their test in
35 minutes. This time is the 2.5th decile of the allotted time. What does this mean?
D2.5
- This means that 25% of the learners finished the test. A low quartile considered good,
because it means the students finished the test in a short period of time.
IV. Evaluation:
A. Multiple Choice: Choose the letter of the correct answer from the situations below.
1. In a math summative test, your score is the 3 rd quartile of the score of the test. How
