BY: RAVEN D. DALISAY

I. LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
At the end of the lesson the students must be able to:
a. Interpret measure of position. (M10SP-IVc-1)
II. SUBJECT MATTER:
A. Topic: “Interpret Measures of Position”
B. References: Melvin M. Callantana,et.al., 2015.Mathematics 10 Learner’s Module, First
Edition, Rex Book Store, Inc., Pages 374 and 393 – 394.

III. PROCEDURE:
Teacher’s Activity Student Activity
A. Daily Routine
1. Prayer (One of the students will lead the
2. Greetings prayer)
3. Checking of Attendance
4. Review
Before we will proceed to our new
lesson, let us first have a short recap
about or topic last meeting. What was
our last topic all about? Yes
________”
(One of the students will raise his/her
hand)
“Sir last meeting we discussed about
the measures of position, also known as
the quartiles. Quartiles divides the data
set into 4 equal parts, Deciles divide the
data set into 10 equal parts, and the
percentiles divide the data set into 100
equal parts. We also discussed about
“Very Good! Thank you ____” computing measures of position for
ungrouped data using the formula for
each quantile”.
B. Activity
Picture Analysis

C. Abstraction:
Equivalent interpretation in each
measure of position.
Quartile 1 (Q1)
- Lower quartile
- 25% of the data has a value ≤ Q1.
It divides the lower half of a data
set in half.
- 2.5th Decile

Quartile 2 (Q2)
- Median
- The median divides the data se in
half. 50% of the data vales fall
below the median and 50% fall
above.
- 5th Decile
Quartile 3 (Q3)
- Upper Quartile
- At most, 25% of the data is larger
than Q3. 75% of the data is smaller
than Q3. It divides the upper half of
the data set in half.
- 7.5th Decile
Example # 1:
In the National Career Assessment
Examination (NCAE) result of Bryle,
he got a percentile rank of 92 in
Mathematical Ability. What does the
percentile rank 92 mean?

Solution:
It means that 92% of the class got a
score below his score in Mathematical
Ability.

Example #2

“Solve for the value of ”

Excellent! If you got a score of 27,

which is 3rd quartile from or example,
what does it imply in terms of your
performance among the class?
 Correct! Well said! It seems like
you’re getting it!

Example #3:
Given these scores of students in a test, what is
Decile 6 ( ). What does it mean?
Scores Frequency Less than
(f) Cumulative
Frequency
(<cf)
38-40 1 20
35-37 1 19
32-34 2 18
29-31 6 16
26-28 5 10
23-25 4 5
20-22 1 1
N = 20
Solution:

The 6th Decile is equivalent to the 60th

percentile.
Interpretation:
What will be the Interpretation? 60% of the students got the score less
than or equal to 29.5.
 D. Application (Group Activity) Group 1:
I will group the class into three. Each group
will choose their leader to interpret there answer.
Group 1 will find the Q3, the Group 2 will find the
D8, and the Group 3 will find the P25

Given:

Scores Frequency Less than

(f) Cumulative
Frequency
(<cf) Interpretation:
38-40 1 20 75% of the students got the score less
35-37 1 19 than or equal to 31.
32-34 2 18
29-31 6 16
26-28 5 10 Group 2:
23-25 4 5
20-22 1 1
N = 20

Interpretation:
80% of the students got the score less
than or equal to 32.

Group 3

Interpretation:
25% of the students got the score less
than or equal to 27.

IV. GNERALIZATION:
What are the equivalent interpretation in Quartile 1 (Q1)
each measure of position? - Lower quartile
- 25% of the data has a value ≤
Q1. It divides the lower half of
a data set in half.

V. ASSESSMENT:
Read and understand each of the
situations given below. Make your
interpretations on a ½ crosswise.
1. The first quartile of 380 Grade 11
students is 15 years old. What
does it mean?
2. In 80-item test, the passing mark
is the third quartile. What does it
imply?
3. Shobbie scored at the 99th
percentile on a National
Achievement Test? How should
we interpret this information?
4. Meagan took a college entrance
test in Guimaras State University.
Her score belongs to the 9th
decile. Should Meagan be pleased
with her score? Why?
5. Adam is a casual employee in the
Provincial Capitol. His salary
belongs to the 70th percentile.
Should Adam be glad with his
salary? Why?
I. ASSIGNMENT:
Study about solving problems involving measures of position.
- 2.5th Decile
Quartile 2 (Q2)
- Median
- The median divides the data se
in half. 50% of the data vales
fall below the median and 50%
fall above.
- 5th Decile
Quartile 3 (Q3)
- Upper Quartile
- At most, 25% of the data is
larger than Q3. 75% of the data
is smaller than Q3. It divides
the upper half of the data set in
half.
- 7.5th Decile
Answer:
1. Possible Answers:
- Seventy-five percent (75%) of
the students are 15 years and
above.
- Twenty-five percent (25%) of
the students age below 15
years old.
2. The students should answer at least
60 items correctly to pass the test.
3. Shobbie scored better than 99% of
the students who took the National
Achievement Test
4. Yes, because her score is above to
the usual passing rate which is
75%.
5. Yes, because 70% of the
employee receive less than or
equal to Adam’s salary.
